Seconded. It can be a lot of effort to just set up a client which won’t mangle patchset emails. Maybe Mutt etc. users get that for free, though.

You could mail patches as plain text attachments, if there are concerns about the clients mangling them. You could also try some easier plain-text clients instead of mutt. Claws mail is a simple GUI based one.

But projects like Git do inline patches. I wouldn’t have the guts to break a convention like that when trying to submit something to the mailing list.
