We do.

Yes. It makes it much easier to review a patch and comment it line-by-line.

The drawback is that it can be tricky to configure some email clients
so that they don't line wrap or remove spaces in patches (making them
impossible to apply), so therefore we didn't want to require patches to be
sent that way.
