Chuck,
IMHO, in order to be able to use such patches as yours (big patches),
I think it would be the best to attached them as compressed files
(gzip, bz2).
Ugh. It's a text plain attachment. No mailers will scramble that. A
lot of mailing lists will drop any non text/plain attachments to prevent
works so compressing is probably not a good idea. If the patch is
really really big, pointing to an external URL would probably work best.
The problem with the previous patch was Lotus Notes. Lotus is a bit
brain dead when it comes to sending attachments (it really sends mail
via a special format and then converts it to rfc822). The result is
that all attachments are application/octet-stream.

That way, almost any mailer knows how to handle attachment without
scrambling the patch formatting
Thanks,
