Well, inline patches aren't requested at
http://ofono.org/wiki/ofono-etiquette. You probably should do.

Well, my mail client (Thunderbird) and most modern clients I
know are able to show attached files of text/x-patch (and
similar) type. OTOH I wonder why you want to review patches
in your mail client. Wouldn't it much better to use a
specialized too which highlights the changes like
$ gvim "+vert diffpatch <patchfile>" <originalfile>
$ emacs
or
$ xfdiff ?
Don't you have to save the patch files in such cases anyway?

Best regards,
Jens
