Patches can be attached to messages sent to the list if the MIME type
of the patch attachment is marked as "text/plain".  Inline patches are
okay, too, but only if they're very short.  Otherwise, copy-and-pasting 
becomes time consuming (and problematic).  It's also sometime useful
to simply post the URL of a patchset.

'diff -uN' is the preferred diff format.

That's not necessary.  Most of us read those lists, anyway.
