Could we please avoid sending patches as compressed attachments?
The ability to quickly see the code in your MUA and easily quote
it in replies is important for reviewers. Certainly more important
than a minor bandwidth saving.
Just attaching uncompressed files is not enough: it still makes it
very difficult to quote the text in replies. The only work-around
I've found for it is:
- save the attachment to a file
- create a new mail
- insert the file in the body of the mail
- send the mail to self
- wait for it to come back
- start a reply
- copy all the quoted text in the clipboard
- throw away the reply
- start a reply to the original mail
- paste the clipboard into it
- begin reviewing...
A little inconvenient, isn't it? :-)
