You might be able to fix it with the "--attach" argument to git- 
format-patch.  I haven't tested it, but if it creates the patch as an  
attachment instead of inline you should be able to save it verbatim  
on the other end.  At least I hope that Notes doesn't mangle attached  
files, that would be rather broken behavior IMO.

Another similar approach would be to perform the first three steps  
exactly as you do right now but manually send the email with the  
patch files attached.  This strategy also will not work if Notes is  
improperly handling email attachments.
