Hi Dimi,

I'm deeply sorry about that and I understand your frustrations for
I have frustrations of my own using my mail client.
The problem is that I have no other choice but to use Notes as a mail
client for external emails at my company and Notes really screws up
attachments and there's no way to configure it. Also, it wraps line longer
than 70 characters, so inlining some of my patches will result in
bogus patches. Then again, there's no way to configure it to disable
line wrapping. And trust me, I've tried....
So what I'm gonna do in the future is inline patches that won't get
line wrapped and attach the others the way I use too. Hopefully,
most of them will be inlined.
I apologize for the inconveniences.

Can't you just call your diffs "something.txt" and attach them?

P.S. Inlining them is _far_ supperior to attachment. First,
    we can review them without any additional action. Second,
    we can simply press "Reply" and quote the code we want
    to comment on. This is very important.
 

Can't you do all of that with text/plain attachments? Don't you then get 
the added bonus that they do not line wrap, ever?

Maybe we should put the "use .txt extension" into the FAQ.
