The problem is that you are posting them with the "application/octet-stream"
MIME type. Either insert the patch right into the body of your message, or
ensure that it is attached as text/plain. To get text/plain, you could
rename your patch file to end with ".txt"; your Outlook mailer doesn't
recognize the ".patch" extension, so it uses application/octet-stream.
