Wrong.
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.
