Ranting can be good!

However, not having much experience with Thunderbird or GNOME, I'm not
sure I understand your pain.  If any of these might be darcs's fault, or
things darcs could be smarter about, could you please file a bug report?

Also, does this mean you get the same symptoms of I do under Windows of
having MIME-gunk in the message body, and a weird filename for the patch
bundle when you receive the mail?

Btw, you can now do darcs send -O, which generates a patch bundle name
for you.
