Ops! I mean the opposite. It is fine for inlined patch. mime patches may have
troubles. 

In fact, patchwork supports mime types, provided that the emailer describe
the attachment with the proper type (text/x-patch). It the mime is text/plain,
it should work also. However, if the emailer sends it with a different type, the
attachment will be discarded.
