My understanding is that the problem is not with attachments, but with
using strange things like base64 for attachments. Nick has used plain
text attachment which seem perfectly fine for me. Check this:

http://www.tux.org/lkml/

"If I get a patch in an attachment (other than a "Text/PLAIN" type
attachment with no mangling and that pretty much all mail readers and
all tools will see as a normal body), I simply WILL NOT apply it unless
I have strong reason to. I usually wont even bother looking at it,
unless I expected something special from the sender.

Really. Don't send patches as attachments.

Linus"

So plain text attachment seem to be acceptable...
