Okay this is confusing. Your scoreboard guidelines
(http://www.netfilter.org/scoreboard/) say that you should include
patches "straight in the body of the message, not MIME'd." Honestly
I've always found this policy bizzare.
It wasn't but a week ago that Henrik was asking that someone resend a
MIME'd patch in plain text.
(http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-June/004760.html)
Yes I understand that one was base64'ed but some people may not have
complete control over how their MIME implementation works.
If the argument against MIME is that the mailing list archives can't
handle it. Perhaps those people should switch to using
marc.theaimsgroup.com. For instance the very message Henrik was
complaining about not being readable because it was base64 is handled
properly here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=netfilter-devel&m=102389029101252&w=2
Either way we should pick a standard and follow it. Frankly MIME is a
common standard and attaching patch is intuitive. So I think we should
go that route.
