Ugh.  It's a text plain attachment.  No mailers will scramble that.  A 
lot of mailing lists will drop any non text/plain attachments to prevent 
works so compressing is probably not a good idea.  If the patch is 
really really big, pointing to an external URL would probably work best.

The problem with the previous patch was Lotus Notes.  Lotus is a bit 
brain dead when it comes to sending attachments (it really sends mail 
via a special format and then converts it to rfc822).  The result is 
that all attachments are application/octet-stream.
