Documentation: mention email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches

Browse source 
I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs

This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).

This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.

Exception: If your mailer is mangling patches then someone may ask
you to re-send them using MIME.
WARNING: Some mailers like Mozilla send your messages with
---- message header ----
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
---- message header ----
The problem is that "format=flowed" makes some of the mailers
on receiving side to replace TABs with spaces and do similar
changes. Thus the patches from you can look corrupted.
To fix this just make your mozilla defaults/pref/mailnews.js file to look like:
pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false); // RFC 2646=======
pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
See Documentation/email-clients.txt for hints about configuring
your e-mail client so that it sends your patches untouched.
