OK, I think I've cracked the problem of patches with Thunderbird.  The
problem is that Thunderbird takes .patch files to be of mime-type
text/x-diff.  Renaming the file to end in .txt changes its opinion of
the file type and allows the patch to be in base64 encoding.

See: http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine

This probably _is_ something which should be in the docs as it's not
something you would imagine would be a solution.

As for the patch: this particular part of the contemporary music docs
('Further reading') is something it would be great for other people to
pitch in on.  I've split the section into two: on the one hand books and
articles (including webpages) that are useful; on the other, scores and
musical extracts (again, possibly including online examples) that are
interesting with respect to learning about contemporary notation.

Best wishes,
