That's disappointing (the attachments). Why was this requested?
See Documentation/CodingStyle, section 7:
"No MIME, no links, no compression, no attachments. Just plain text."
It also causes breakage in other people's patch merging/testing. E.g., I cannot save any one of these emails as I can with other patches and get a useful patch file. Instead, the saved file contains lines like this (below) and each patch 2 times (inline and attachment).
