Not sure where that documentation is, but it's much better to diff newI usually attach the diff, but make sure that the mime type allows it to be displayed. I received no complaints so far from Alexander, but now I'm not sure why.
files than to add separate attachments. The basic rules are: no
attachments, no mime crap, no line wrapping, a single patch per
mail. Basically if I can't do "cat raw_mail | patch -p0" it's in the
wrong format. I'd guess that at most 20% of the submitted patches
follow the rules :-(
The eventual mail has Mime crap, but as it is not encoded Alexander should be able to do cat | patch. This also guarantees that there will be no line wraps.
I belive this to be the best way, but people are so much against it that I have kept my mouth shut so far in these discussions. (it's not as if I submit too many patches lately :-( )
