Hi,

Your patch attachment is typed as:

	Content-Type: plain/text;

rather than the standard mime type text/plain;
please check your /etc/mime.types, ~/.sylpheed/mime.types, ~/.*/mime.types, or 
other alternatives for that incorrect mime type mapping, replace with the 
standard, and resend with the attachment, so we can read it inline, without 
saving or other operations to decode it.

You may want to consider updating your dated MUA to the more recent development 
version, or another more currently supported MUA.
