The ideal would be to include it in the mail text, but that requires
that the mail be (plain) text without line folding, and that's
increasingly difficult to enforce, particularly with web-based
interfaces (scowling at you, gmail).

So the practice I've been following (when I don't forget / am not
answering in a hurry) is to create a text/plain (.txt) file and attach
it, because the zsh.org archive will inline that as if it were in the
mail text.

Sending the patch in both places is just confusing.
