Replying to [ticket:3959 boruch]:
> Also, by default, mutt recognizes files with extension .patch as mime-
type text/x-diff, which is close but not exact.
The MIME type associated with .patch is platform dependent. Under Debian,
this comes from /etc/mime.types provided by the mime-support package. But
the end user can also change the default.
FYI, I also suggested the use of an external program to determine the MIME
type, in the thread "corrupted attachments" in mutt-dev in June 2017:
