I'm sorry, It looks like I am incorrect. It seems I am so used to seeing new files diff'ed that I assumed that was the prefered way. Unless Alexandre says he prefers one way or the other I guess I will leave the documentation the way it is.
Not sure where that documentation is, but it's much better to diff new files than to add separate attachments. The basic rules are: no attachments, no mime crap, no line wrapping, a single patch per mail. Basically if I can't do "cat raw_mail | patch -p0" it's in the wrong format. I'd guess that at most 20% of the submitted patches follow the rules :-(
Also, I found no mention of license info on the web page.
Well this makes Alexandre's job easier. It also makes it clear who owns copyright and what is permitted/required.
I don't need any license info, all patches sent to wine-patches are assumed to be under a Wine-compatible license. If they are not there's no point in submitting them.
