Mozilla .99 is not handling the last attachment well, but that is it's 
problem.  It is continuously trying to reformat it to fit the preview 
window.

One of the problem with attachments is that many e-mail clients can not 
control what format the attachment is encoded with.

IMHO, it is better to post inline, and send an attachment as a personal 
E-mail on request.

Isn't there a separate mailing list for patches?

In that case, it is better to discuss the patch and it's implications 
here, but send the patch to the appropriate patch mailing list.  Users 
of that list are probably more likely to use a mail client that deals 
with attachments.

Is there a FAQ entry to point people at?
