That's disappointing (the attachments).  Why was this requested?

See Documentation/CodingStyle, section 7:

"No MIME, no links, no compression, no attachments.  Just plain text."


It also causes breakage in other people's patch merging/testing.
E.g., I cannot save any one of these emails as I can with other patches
and get a useful patch file.  Instead, the saved file contains lines like
this (below) and each patch 2 times (inline and attachment).
