I'd prefer not to, there are plenty of "free" email servers out there
that work just fine that you could use, right?

What's wrong with using 'git send-email' with your server?  Have you
tried that?  That shouldn't change the mime-type of the patch, and if it
does, that would be grounds for a bug to be filed against such a server,
right?

While nice, that's just not going to work with our workflow, sorry.
Somehow over 2000 other kernel developers each year get their email
clients/server to work fine, there's no reason you all can't as well :)
