I use Thunderbird via IMAP.  IMAP is nice because the messages all stay 
on the server so if you have a few different machines and OSs you don't 
have to worry about keeping things coherent.  Sending patches through 
TBird usually works, as long as you cut&paste into a 'preformat' block 
(available from a pull-down menu).  But it's not bulletproof.  The only 
sure way to send a patch without worrying about line wrapping etc. is to 
use git-send-email.  You can find instructions online on how to do this 
with gmail, IIRC you need to have some sendmail-like relay running on 
your Linux box.  I don't remember the details and am not at that 
computer right now.

cheers,
Ben
