3. Do not attach patches with
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

(Email programs usually set the content-type automatically to text/* for 
extensions like .diff or .patch or .txt)

If you have application/octet-stream, others have to save the patch to a 
file in order to view it and and it also makes it much harder to reply 
with comments to the patch.

PS: Some middle-end maintainers prefer if patches are not attached to an 
email but rather included in the email body as it makes it easier (with 
some emails clients) to comment on the patch. If you do so, please 
ensure that the tabs and the linebreaks of the patch remain intact.
