Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
One common request among open-source projects is for the initial review requests (and any diff updates) to be able to send the complete original diff as an attachment to the review emails. This would allow people to more easily have access to the patches to apply locally without having to take the additional step of going to the web interface.

This would allow Review Board as a project to more easily penetrate existing projects whose policy has always been "patches on the list".

What operating system are you using? What browser?
ReviewBoard is hosted on Linux (specifically RHEL 6, OpenShift)

After sitting around on this for a while, I think I'm going to say that we won't do this. If you really wanted, you could write an extension to mail out the diffs.
