Well, that's kind of difficult without using git for development work.
I can try to remember to name patches suitably, but that's
another manual step for me then, and while I continue to attach
files I would have hoped that the mail bodies nowadays come
through uncorrupted (and hence I'd expect file names to be
chosen by your mail client based on subject, which includes
numbering - that's at least how mine behaves - and there being
no actual need to use the attachments).
