I can't say I disagree with you, but I'll just note that all your patches are base64 encoded, which is not really better <g>
Oops <blush/> (but, ..., but, ... mine are Text/PLAIN at least :))
Sorry, I did not realise that. Speaking of which, I don't have the slightest idea how to force Pine not to do that. Maybe the only way is to actually _insert_ the text of the patch at the end of the message, but as far as I know, there are some broken versions of Pine out that will mangle the patch in sublte ways.
IMO any mail that cannot be piped straight into patch should be rejected
Agreed. I am sorry I caused you grief by sending you base64 patches, from my mailer POV they seemed to be "in clear".
but I don't do it because it would take me more time to explain that to people sending patches and keep track of it all than it takes me to decode them. Maybe we should put an auto-rejecter of mime crap on the wine-patches list..
Yeah, that would be good. Maybe include something into the documentation describing how to send the patch using various mailers?
