IMAP is nice because the messages all stay on the server so if you have a few different machines and OSs you don't have to worry about keeping things coherent. Sending patches through TBird usually works, as long as you cut&paste into a 'preformat' block (available from a pull-down menu). But it's not bulletproof. The only sure way to send a patch without worrying about line wrapping etc. is to use git-send-email. You can find instructions online on how to do this with gmail, IIRC you need to have some sendmail-like relay running on your Linux box. I don't remember the details and am not at that computer right now.
