There are a lot of offenders here, so I'm not trying to single you out, but
too many windows programs are setting all the patch attachments as
application/octet-stream, which means it breaks inline reading for clients
(this is really annoying).
I found the following on the Wine website that might help:
http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/winedev-guide/style-notes
Specifically:
"Outlook Express is notorious for mangling attachments. Giving the patch a
.txt extension and attaching will solve the problem for most mailers
including Outlook."
and
"Using regedit add key "Content Type" with value "text/plain" to the .diff
extension under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (same as for .txt extension). This tells
OE to use Content-Type: text/plain instead of application/octet-stream"
Hopefully these will work, I don't run windows so I can't test them.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
