You could email the patch as a bundle; then it would be in a separate  
attachment, independent of the text in the email message.

Of course the drawback is that the bundle isn't directly human- 
readable; the best you can do is use "hg incoming --bundle" to see  
what files have changed. (Is there any way to run "hg diff" against a  
bundle to see the exact diffs it contains?)
