I agree. I think anything over a certain limit should be gzipped and
sent as an attachment.
What should the limit be? 100Kb - 200Kb?
And if it's still over the limit after compressing it, how about just
posting the ChangeLog and a URL of where the patch can be downloaded
for reviewal.
Just my thoughts.
