Interesting. I've missed that email entirely.

Thanks, I see it, and it's the same in email sent from Thunderbird 38
(beta).
The intricacies of how it should work are above me, but isn't this bug
report-worthy?
And sending patch with a "wrong" extension means that after it's saved,
the other party will have more trouble viewing it correctly. gedit does
no appropriate syntax highlighting for .txt, and Emacs opens them in
text-mode by default (which means no syntax highlighting, or chunk
navigation commands). This cure might be worse than the disease.
