Good diffs are better than good changes. :)

Short version, though: fetch the www/ tree from your favorite
anoncvs server, using the same checkout options you use for any
other OpenBSD tree (you replace "src" with "www").

Make your changes to whatever file you want to change, then:
   cvs diff -u file.html

put the output in-line, using a mailer that doesn't mangle white
space.

(actually, attachments don't bother me, as long as they are plain
text so I don't have to save the file to look at it)
