The problem is replying to an attachment.  The reason why having
the patch in the main mail body is good is that it gets quoted
by the email software and you can easily reply to individual
parts of the patch.


If the attachment is "disposition=inline", does the problem still exist?

I've just checked this with Thunderbird (which is the mail client I use).

It not only sets the disposition=inline by default when attaching patches, it also places the patch inline when replying to it, allowing the user to write between the text of the patch as if it were part of the email text.

However if we Copy+Paste the patch into the mail it gets line wrapped / white space mangled.

So at least for Thunderbird users it would be better to use attached patches with "Content-Disposition: inline".
