I am sorry, but you had no success in this round either.

Thunderbird is "somewhat"(*) difficult when you try to include the source
(diff-) file into message body text.

(*: like "serious pain in the rear section..)


The classical instruction is that "thy shall post source as diffs against
baseline in email message textbody"  ---  but now your only real choice is
in between using genuine attachments, and placing it into some public
downloadable file, which the rest of the world can download - or to use
the ATTACH -button.

Two failures with preferred method is (IMO) a good excuse to resort on
MIME attachments.
