Guys,
I've come to _hate_ diffs attached as Application/OCTET-STREAM. Can you
please, Please, PLEASE, attach them as Text/PLAIN?
I use Pine over a ssh connection to read wine-{devel,patches}, and I can
simply view the Text/PLAIN attachments, whereas I have to:
-- press V to view the list of attachments
-- select the attachment I want to view
-- press S to save it to disk
-- exit Pine
-- start vi to actually view the thing
-- restart pine...
Just to view a Application/OCTET-STREAM attachment.
Which means 2 things:
-- I get frustrated (and look what happens when I do:))
-- I simply ignore those patches
For all these reasons (and more), I think Linus is right when he insists on:
-- ONE patch per email
-- ONLY Text/PLAIN attachments.

Dimi.
