Did you try it with the message I sent titled
'[PATCH] example patch corrupted by thunderbird'?
I tried now, and none of the editors/viewers I tried are displaying
anything that would come close to readable to me, even if you count
clearly marked hex character codes as readable. I tried less, e3 and
kwrite. Therefore, a) I can't verify whether the result is correct or
not b) I declare this an edge case.
When I save with Thunderbird, part of what was on line 5 is now
on another line and the control-M is missing.
Nope, '.eml' extension.
That would be a bug. If you save as .eml, it should save exactly what's
in your IMAP mailbox or what View as source | File | Save... saves. If
it doesn't do that, it's a bug.
The View Source workaround may be inconvenient, but is a workaround for
such a strong edgecase, until this bug is fixed. Don't hope for it,
though, because TB is working on completely different things, like a
message database.
You're welcome to file a bug, but please without political statements or
broad generic demands. TB is geared towards comfortable writing and
reading of human language text.

Apart from that, I can only recommend that you re-consider sending
patches as inline attachments (Content-Disposition: inline, which is an
official Internet Standard since many years), which is IMHO correctly
reflecting reality, and fixing the software which can't deal with
*that*, including inline display and quoting.
