Somewhere along the line, I discovered that in Gmail's web interface,
"Show original" under the "Reply" menu at the right-top corner of a
e-mail does what is needed - it takes a particular e-mail and open a
new tab, showing its content as text. I extracted a couple of Larry's
e-mails recently this way ("show original" then "save page as...") and
just "patch -p1" with the saved pages.
In other words, even when the recipient is using Gmail, there is no
need to send an extra attachment beyond what Linus dictates i.e. patch
in-line.
(how the sender *sends* a patch, is a different matter - cut-and-paste
with web mail or even a "proper" MUA like thunderbird just doesn't do
it without some wizardary, but I suppose most people just do it like
me, with git-send-email to send patches. The fact that git-send-mail
uses gmail for SMTP is just incidental).
