But submission is less important than review. And for review it is
usually better (except gigantic series) to have patch text for review
with the review.

Agreed.  However, submission typically requires more work than review,
because the patch text must remain applicable.  For review, as long as
the email client you use to respond doesn't do something horrible like
*re-wrap* the quoted patch text, the result will work as a review.

Yup.  That is why we say "please send patch inline; when asked to
send it as an attachment, please do so".
