I can usually easily review patches sent as text/plain attachments
directly in my client. But granted, I tried to reply to my own
email with attachment and Thunderbird does not show the patch text, --
it usually does. I'll investigate it. But the patch is shown
inline as the rest of my email, so it's still easy to review it
(but not comment on individual parts).
In any way, this patch is too simple to comment on it.

Now please show me how I can use these tools when replying to
a discussion and keeping other comments and thread flow. Yes
sure this can be done, I can cut-n-paste all sorts of original
message into the editor executed by git send-email, or even into
command-line of git format-patch, but this is just too much work
compared with regular reply in usual mail client and attaching
a single file. The latter is much more productive and as easy
to review and apply, the only difference is - as it turns out -
in-line commenting, but I'll check this separately.
What I miss in Thunderbird is a way to _insert_ content of a
file into the message, -- a combination of cut-n-paste and
attachment. With sufficient care I can keep tabs after
cut-n-paste, but this is fragile. If I can solve inline-
comments in attached patch that'll be ideal variant.
And I think that the reasons you stated above are not
sufficient to warrant re-sending this very patch as
you asked me to do... ;)
Thanks!
