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.
