I'm really surprised. We had at least one instances in the past where
the diff was molested and thus impossible to apply (we asked the contributor
to fix, and he eventually did - not sure if he was using an attachement
or not, though). But otherwise, things have been working fine. And I was
always under the impression that the chances of having the diff be molested
was MUCH higher when sent inline. Maybe I'm wrong...

I'm afraid you are right - I fought similar battles in the past and
lost them too...
