Ah, again it's the stupid Apple Mail issue at fault. It misconstructs
emails with attachments and the attachment is only visible when viewing
the HTML version. I can confirm the patch is there when showing HTML

Technical explanation
---------------------

Apple Mail constructs the following structure:

/----------------------------------\
| multipart/alternative            |
+----------------------------------+
| /--------------\                 |
| | text/plain   |                 |
| +--------------+                 |
| | Your message |                 |
| \--------------/                 |
|                                  |
| /------------------------------\ |
| | multipart/mixed              | |
| +------------------------------+ |
| | /--------------------------\ | |
| | | application/octet-stream | | |
| | +--------------------------+ | |
| | | Your patch               | | |
| | \--------------------------/ | |
| |                              | |
| | /--------------\             | |
| | | text/html    |             | |
| | +--------------+             | |
| | | Your message |             | |
| | \--------------/             | |
| \------------------------------/ |
\----------------------------------/

With Thunderbird selecting the text/plain "alternative" (because I
configured it to show the text/plain version). This alternative does not
include the patch.

Correct it needs to look like this:

/------------------------------\
| multipart/mixed              |
+------------------------------+
| /-----------------------\    |
| | multipart/alternative |    |
| +-----------------------+    |
| | /--------------\      |    |
| | | text/plain   |      |    |
| | +--------------+      |    |
| | | Your message |      |    |
| | \--------------/      |    |
| |                       |    |
| | /--------------\      |    |
| | | text/html    |      |    |
| | +--------------+      |    |
| | | Your message |      |    |
| | \--------------/      |    |
| \-----------------------/    |
|                              |
| /--------------------------\ |
| | application/octet-stream | |
| +--------------------------+ |
| | Your patch               | |
| \--------------------------/ |
\------------------------------/

With Thunderbird selecting the text/plain alternative, but still having
the patch in the "mixed" box, thus showing it.
