I often don't read MIME-format mail that contains both text and HTML,
as it's usually spam or wormy (or both).  If you want to get through
to people who like me who don't use Microsoft products to read email,
you probably want to disable MIME encoding.  Here are instructions
about how to do that:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.7.tar.gz

It contains a NEWS file that should tell you want you want.

It's your choice.  Most people call it "diff" these days.
