Personally I think I'd prefer non-gzipped but attached diffs, as I've
had in the past Gnus bindings to apply a darcs patch to a tree (and
should probably dig this out and set it up again).

I'm not a Windows user and I don't know, but I'd guess there would be
less risk of this if the patch was attached instead of inline.  (But
probably depends on the mail software involved and who knows what
else---whoever merges patches will probably just need to be sure to
check for this).
