That is assuming that the MUA gives you the option of specifying the 
attachment MIME type. Many (including mine) do not. It would mean an 
extra step - I'd have to gzip each patch or something like that. That 
would be unfortunate,as well as imposing extra effort, because it would 
make the patch not display inline in many MUAs (again, like mine).
