I did redo the patch in a follow up reply with a .diff file extension.

But the mail header reported the mime type of the attachment as being;
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
        x-unix-mode=0644;
        name="hacking.html.diff"

So it would seem there is a MAC related (or perhaps simply a THIS MAC)
issue with applying the correct MIME type to an attachment - as
opposed to a tigris one.

 From my side, I'll just continue to use a .txt extension for any
future patches as that seems to get an appropriate MIME type from
"Apple Mail".

Gavin.
