Dear Parkash,
please do just send plain text messages to mailing lists [1]. Since you are using KMail this should be easily configurable.

flashrom kind of works on my system, but not with the factory images. If I read it out with flashrom and write it back with flashrom (also to a different chip) it works. The sizes of factory and dumped image are same but they are somewhat binary different. Any idea? The motherboard is Abit A-S78H. As I am playing around with coreboot - so far unsuccessfully - I want to know whether flashrom is writing the generated image correctly... I can upload both images somewhere if interested. This is flashrom output on my system:
flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 3.2.0-rc7+ (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.5.2, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750/SB850". Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC, FWH, SPI. Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L8005" (1024 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xfff00000. No operations were specified.
Unfortunately this question seems not be listed in the FAQ. Most of the time some areas differ because the MAC address and other configuration data of the downloaded images differs [2]. I hope you mean the downloaded image by factory/vendor image.
Thanks,
Paul
