No, unless your mailer will corrupt them otherwise.

If you encode or attach them, instead of just pasting them, then I
can't just hit (R)eply to comment on them, and I can't read them in my
mailer - I have to save them to disk first, then bring them up in a
separate editor, then paste them back into the mailer to comment on
them.

If your "file attach" function attaches them as plain 8-bit unencoded
text (not base64 or quoted-printable), that's acceptable, because MIME
basically leaves it as unchanged text.  It's harder to read when
mimeified, but I can still actually read it in the mailer.

Perhaps you have some strange belief that I apply patches without
actually *reading* them first?  ;-)
