the difference why some patches show up as attachments while others show 
up as text is (i guess) mainly, because some mail clients attach them as 
"real" attachments, while others do so as "inline" attachments.
some clients may let you chose which kind of attachment you want to use.

and then there is always the question, how a reader's MUA will display 
these different kinds of attachments...

i guess few people actively make a decision which attachment type they 
actually send.
i don't think it's necessary to spend too much thoughts on that...
