This is inlined mime attachments. It seems that Thunderbird can only
 produce this sort.

According to the following URI, you can make Thunderbird produce proper
attachments:

OK I've modified the settings accordingly and am sending the last patch
fo this thread attached. Let's see how I am going to see it through
news.gmane.org and if Bo can apply it properly.

It's shown inline in gmane's web interface:
        http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/89212

In my news reader (pine), it's shown as a separate attachment which I have
to press 'v' to view (which is fine by me). So I think it's sent in a
different way now, although gmane's web interface is still being
difficult (just like it was for me).

Why don't you just look at what is actually in the mail?

Mail is just plain text, attachment or not. One does not need a 'Mail
client' to read it, much less so when it comes to forensics.

Unfortunatelly this is not true in this case: the raw mail source of the previous Abdel patches looks like

--------------000900090409000001040802

This is displayed inline, with no possibility to save the attachment (Mail.app).

So, the new patches sent are better in the sense that I can view them as attachement and safe them properly.
