Thunderbird works.  Try sending yourself a patch, then look at "message -> source" in
the thunderbird menu.  I suspect that thunderbird is sensitive to the filename extension.

If it sees *.patch, I think it uses 7bit encoding, which is what we want.



Here is an example of a good one:


--------------060100000809040101070902
Content-Type: text/x-patch;
 name="fulltitle.patch"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename="fulltitle.patch"


Note the "text/x-patch", but especially the clear visibility of the patch, it is not
base64 encoded it is

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
