But that's the wrong name for systems that *do* expect a distinction
to be made between arbitrary text files (‘.txt’ suffix) and diff
output (‘.diff’ suffix). -1 on this change.
The correct MIME Content-Type field should be set (‘text/x-diff’,
IIRC) for ‘diff’ output. A program that fails to interpret content as
text, when it has been specified as ‘text/foo’, is the program that
needs fixing, IMAO.
