That should be an easy problem to fix:

Just send out email in HTML format with the code portions set to fixed width font and syntax highlighting already applied. Should display just fine in GMail.

That won't work because people actually download those email messages and apply them to their local repository with the git am command and they also expect to be able to reply to the email inline when commenting on a patch. Also, for mail clients that don't support HTML rendering, it would be much more difficult to read or respond to an HTML email.

I would assume you'd sent both a text message and an HTML message?
