Can someone describe the problems with just attaching the patch in Thunderbird? It's what Martin says he does on the linked document...

Email clients don't like to quote attachments, even text/plain ones, which then makes attached patches much more difficult to review and comment on (i.e. you greatly reduce the number of reviewers).
