This is the complication.

When looking at diffs, people want them _in the message body_ not because
they are lazy and don't want to jump through hoops to see the diffs (well
people are lazy and will not jump through the hoops so...) but because it
makes talking about the diffs easier, e.g. inline comments.

If you can't be bothered to spend some time to fix your mailer or switch
a mailer that doesn't fuck up your outgoing mails, why should people and
specially developers bother jumping through hoops trying to read your diffs ?

I'm not throwing dirt, but fix your mailer and don't demand an exception
to a process that has been in use for years. Diffs go inline into the body
of your mail.

Nice to see people taking an interest in bioctl though! :)
