If that is the case, I highly suspect that it is one more reason
not to mark the file with .txt; Outlook may say "Hey, it's TEXT,
so let's linewrap it, quote-balance it and add all sorts of nice
frills to make it easier to read for human consumption".  

Assuming that it does not understand what a .patch is, we would
have a better chance to force it not to look at nor touch the
contents, and not getting our patches corrupted.
