So, I start an email in Thunderbird, and attach test.patch to it.
I don't see a way to control things, but it seems to go across as
a multipart; the patch is disposition inline, type of text/x-patch.  I
rename it to test.txt, and now it goes across as a multipart, both parts
are text/plain.

I get the patch, and I can see it.  Very nice.

I click 'Reply', and I get no quoting in Thunderbird.  (A quick check
with mutt *does* show quoting.)

I'm hazarding a guess that is not the expected result; am I doing it wrong?

Cheers,

Jeremy
