Everyone trying to work with a patch (instead of just the email) always is working with the raw message. Just patch < mbox or git-am mbox for example. https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html says It is strongly discouraged to post patches as MIME parts of type application/whatever, disposition attachment or encoded as base64 or quoted-printable. (which many people still do not follow, making reviewing their patches much harder than needed). Segher
