I think the general opinion of posting patches as attachments
has changed over the last few years.  Mailers have been getting
a lot better at handling them, even quoting non-message-body
plain/text attachments in replies.

There is also the problem of things like gmail/yahoo where you can't
control the word wrapping.  The only way to submit patches from those
services is as an plain text attachment. If you try to submit then
in-line and they wrap wrong you will collect a lot of hate mail from
Andrew.

Well, why should someone use a broken mail service at all?

Because the net Nazis make often make it the only way to send/receive
mail in a domain. There is nothing coming or going here that doesn't
go through a M$ mail-killer that even saves every thread of evidence.

For instance, there is no signature on this file. I'll bet that
by the time you read it, there is one.
