Hi Brandon,
I was talking with Gerrit's developers about how to improve the e-mails 
they generate (Gerrit is a patch review system tightly integrated with 
Git). They told me that GMail's web interface doesn't show the patch 
inline, as requested. Here's how the generated e-mail looks like:

* Content-Type: multipart/mixed
|
+--* Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
|    (the textual description)
|
+--* Content-Type: text/x-patch
     Content-Disposition: inline; filename=0001-blah-blah.patch
     Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
     (the patch goes here)

What I was hoping to achieve was a display of both parts in sequence, as if 
the e-mail was embedded into the main textual body part. What I got back 
instead is the rendering shown in the attached image.

Is there something I could do to let GMail render the patch as-is, without 
extra clicking, while at the same time making it possible to open the patch 
in an external viewer by other clients?

With kind regards,
Jan
