The patches should be files, which can also be downloaded at the archive
of guix-devel if mailman does not do something weird with the messages.

I found that copy+paste occasionally changed intendation and other
things, so I use an email client. Well not an email client, more a
reader of a database which manages emails.

There's a vim interface too, if you prefer that.

I just looked at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-08/msg00605.html and
mailman does indeed move it into the message, no files to download.
I don't know.. You should get the files when you use an email client.
If not, I have to change the mime type I use for the patches I
append. Currently I use the default of notmuch/emacs.
