There is a patch for kernels 2.0.30 and 2.0.31pre9 (which also works with pre10) on http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_mbuck1/linux/patches.html Alternatively, you can use 2.1.57 which supports 2048 byte sectors out of the box.
By the way, what's the point in including the same mail twice, once as plain text (which is okay) and once as html (which seems rather useless to me)?
