title: Git patch file attached to Outlook email gets modified by it
body: <p>I want to send .patch files that were generated by the <code>git format-patch</code> command via Outlook (I have to use Outlook where I work, no need to suggest me otherwise). The goal is only to have my code reviewed by a colleague before pushing my changes to the main repository. When I send my patch files as attachments, a <strong>></strong> character gets inserted right at the beginning of my patch file.</p>
  
  <p>Ex:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;From 7ff70407d24338e928fafcd89115f9844c21691b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
  From: user &lt;user@company.com&gt;
  Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:55:17 -0400
  Subject: [PATCH] Blahblah...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This makes it impossible for <code>git am</code> to apply the patch on my colleague system.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know (and don't know how to figure it out) how to validate if the modification occurs on the sending end or the receiving end.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone knows what causes this? Are there some settings in Outlook that I should modify in order to avoid this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
