Stefan, I see your points.

I used 'hg email --outgoing' to send my patches, so if i want it to be sent as
bundle, I'd use 'hg email --bundle'.

I see one problem with this approach though: bundle is a binary file, and if
someone would like to comment on the patch itself - he'll need to manually
paste relevant chunks into reply mail.

I understand this list is general purpose, so maybe it would be good idea to
create separate list for patches? e.g. cython-patches at codespeak.net

Then sending patches there in plain text would be ok for all:

- readable patches right in email client
- ready-to apply patches right from email client  (one button in mutt)
- easy to comment on patches

This is common technique, and for example we do this in sympy-patches:

What do you think?

Kirill.
