Hi all,
There is something concerning submitting patches that bothers me to no end: inlining vs. attaching them.
[skipped]
I have to attach the patches :-( because I use Yahoo online mail client and it wraps long lines. I also usually compress patches with size >= 20-30kb to save everybody's bandwith.
It is good idea to add these recommendations to the Starter's guide, even if we are not going to enforce them.
I think attachments are okay, as long as they are plain text. They do show up inline. The only problems for me are when the attachments are encoded, or when the attachment is identified as other than plain text (for example, those posted by PS). I think most email programs should be able to be configured to identify .diff files as plain text.
