You might be able to fix it with the "--attach" argument to git-
<br>
format-patch. I haven't tested it, but if it creates the patch as
an <br>
attachment instead of inline you should be able to save it verbatim <br>
on the other end. At least I hope that Notes doesn't mangle attached
<br>
files, that would be rather broken behavior IMO.<br>
<br>
Another similar approach would be to perform the first three steps <br>
exactly as you do right now but manually send the email with the <br>
patch files attached. This strategy also will not work if Notes is
<br>
improperly handling email attachments.<br>
