I think they do, but only when it is in the email body, otherwise they would change the attachment, which is no go. Here is how an email from JMarc looks like: ========================================== ... JMarc --------------83A8A64D719F76B5A07C9640 Content-Type: text/x-patch; name="0001-When-breaking-an-empty-paragraph-reduces-depth-set-l.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*0="0001-When-breaking-an-empty-paragraph-reduces-depth-set-l.pa"; filename*1="tch" From 43658068801ad9772728973103414e81373e5a75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgout...@lyx.org> Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 20:33:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] When breaking an empty paragraph reduces depth, set layout too ... ========================================== As you can see, the line "From 4365..." is the start of the attachment, but all lines starting with "From " are, by the default, the start of a new email in the mailbox format. Instead, here is an email from you: ========================================== ... Scott --5mCyUwZo2JvN/JJP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0001-autotools-remove-duplicate-check-for-NLS.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable =46rom 6bfb47eadad68faa8be86506d56e888735f2c7c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 =46rom: Scott Kostyshak <skost...@lyx.org> Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 22:15:34 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] autotools: remove duplicate check for NLS ... ========================================== Here the "From " line is encoded as "=46rom " and then later decoded when displayed on screen. In this case you used quoted-printable, but also base64 would do. No problem in this case with the mailbox format. > Note that I don't have to do any manual configuration for JMarc's > patches to show up in mutt, but I think this is due to different > settings for storing messages (e.g. $mbox_type).
