As told I opened an Infra ticket to fix sending .patch to dev@ list.
That was the response I received:
" [
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-19691?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17012638#comment-17012638

Sebb commented on INFRA-19691:
------------------------------
The content-type will depend on the mail client.
I just tried with GMail, and it sent the file test.txt as
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; name="test.txt"
whereas test.patch resulted in:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="test.patch"
==
However, it's usually not ideal to send patches to mailing lists.
Better to use an issue tracking system."
Then he just Closed the ticket with the resolution: Information Provided
So, will this be fixed or not? Tools are there to support users and
throwing away patches because the tools are sulky doesn't sound like
very support-y to me?
Apache email support is very limited
An option is to attach patches to Issues in the github incubator-nuttx
Issue list.
