I'm beginning to think we should just change that policy. It's
slightly more convenient to review an inline patch -- but not by much.
And sometimes people's mailers munge them, and mail archivers don't
behave as well, etc. The costs may outweigh the benefit...
Most mailreaders have a way to expand the attachment. (Note to fellow
GNUS users: it's the 'K' prefix in the summary buffer, type "K C-h" to
see the possibilities. For example: "C-u 2 K i" views the MIME
attachment numbered '2' inline.)
Would anyone object to this? I'd be happy to provide GNUS support for
those who need it during the transition :-).
