[PATCH]handle octet-stream attachments that contain patches

[Patrick Georgi]

Hi,

attached patch adds handling for octet-stream typed patches, like google
mail sends them.
It relies on parse_patch to determine if the octet-stream is actually a
patch, and I didn't check how robust that is against abuse (eg. binary
data), so that might not be the best approach.

The other issue I'd like to fix (or see fixed preferably :-) ) is that
replies that dissect a patch (by commenting inline) sometimes end up as
new (and invalid) patches on the patchwork queue.
My approach would be to change parse_patch to be somewhat more strict on
the patch format. I didn't look at it yet, but that should fix it.
Is it a design goal to keep reformatted patches (eg. line breaks) alive?
That would break said approach.


Regards,
Patrick Georgi
