I use Netscape Mail all the time to send patches, and it works
beautifully 95% of the time.
If you attach the patch, Netscape detects it is text/plain and does not
encode it. People who dislike MIME complain a bit, but at least you can
see the patch and comment on it. And attaching the patch ensures that
no editor mangling occurs.
That said, every now and then, Netscape's text/plain autodetect will
puke and eat an attached patch. But that happens so infrequently that
the utility outweighs the pain.
