That would defeat the original purpose of syncmail which was exactly to
include the diffs in the emails.  The thought was that we wanted to make
it extremely easy for people to review the changes.  If they had to go
through more than one step to do so, most people would simply ignore
them.  You'd be surprised how many bugs can be caught with a quick scan
through your email window right before you hit delete.
