It's not that attachments are not welcome. There are various binary encodings for attachments, and some of those binary encodings are not welcome. I think because there's no open-source way of decoding them. If you look at the list, you'll see that attachments are used a lot. Copy-and-paste, though, in general will not work, because it usually changes tabs into spaces, which ruins a patch. > I will send you updated patch.....may be I might have mistaken of old gdb file. sorry for incovenience. I think it was just the tabs-to-spaces issue. Why don't you try sending an attachment from Opera?
