It's a hard limitation *of the GitHub-provided email solution*. With
GitHub's APIs and enough time someone could either come up with a custom
email solution or a web page that showed this information (you literally
just need to add ".diff" to the end of a URL to get the diff itself for a
PR, e.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/648.diff will redirect to a
raw diff). There might also already be other solutions out there that do
what you're after.

Obviously this all requires work on someone's part. :) (I've also moved
completely off of an email-based workflow so I'm definitely not the right
person to drive this sort of thing.)
