Hi, I looked differences of your patch attachments as compared with others=20 that seems to be working nicely. When you copy'n'paste they will get=20 broken. Here is example from my message (mail client was Thunderbird): Content-Type: text/plain; name=3D"unknown_glyph.diff" Content-Disposition: inline; filename=3D"unknown_glyph.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64 And here is example from your email: Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=3Da3.diff Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: f_fch5ujm00 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=3Da3.diff With a quick check, gmail indeed does send them as binary as default=20 when using Opera. Then I configured Opera to understand diff files (eg.=20 that they are "text/plain"), after that gmail sent patches nicely.=20 Perhaps you could add new MIME type to your web browser to handle "diff"=20 file extesions as "text/plain"?
