Yes, Thunderbird does a very bad job of not mangling patches up. I've
tried everything I can find and haven't found anything that makes it better.

Heh. Yeah, I noticed that when making the small changes to HACKING
yesterday. Despite what it says, though, when I find the need to send a
patch via Thunderbird for some reason, I go against the recommendations
of HACKING and send it as an attached file instead of in the body of the
message. That produces an undamaged patch at the other end and, with
Thunderbird at least, it's possible to make in "inline" reply to the
patch by selecting the entire patch prior to hitting reply - this moves
the patch into the body of the message (with quotes).
