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.
