I understood it may be difficult to extract all patch files in a single email. Sorry, I can't tell whether it's possible...

Another idea is to add the number of lines of the mail thread. Reviewers can expect that a patch with short discussion may be easy to work on, although it's not always true of course. Long mail threads are hard to understand for those who are new and/or not good at English.
