... and if you can read this, it may have even worked.
Hmmm ... seems ok ... but the WWW ML thingy kills the layout.
Ｈｏｗ ｄａｒｅ ｔｈｅｙ？
The copy I got sent back looks ok in my MUAs. Sure I use a monospace font even in Evolution and I'll apply my openly carried superpower "senile stubbornness" to this question! :-P
So back to manipulating the sendmail command Gnus is using:
I'm using similar tricks as script already in Evolution for being able to send via Tildeverse or SDF nodes like Gnus can do with ssh+netcat tricks for news. That has to be possible too for mail via Gnus, I thought and indeed it looks like that.
It may be neat for other tricks too.
May the ideas fairies come in swarms!

Quite a nice idea :-)
I have something like this (modified for publishing) on my mu4e config:
(make-mu4e-context :name "insti" :match-func (lambda (msg) ...) :vars '((user-mail-address . "erxeto@tilde.institute") (message-signature . "erxeto, aka e1e0.") (smtpmail-smtp-server . "localhost") (smtpmail-smtp-service . 2526) (smtpmail-stream-type . plain)))
And I launch the tunnels if I need to. I have scripts for that which I can launch from Emacs too. Probably simpler (or dumber), but yours is more convenient.

(Will the ML WEB interface butcher braille too?)
I've thought about redirected ports, tunnels and such things too. With Evolution I'm using that ssh-trick as scripts for years already. I tested those with Emacs too, but noticing that passing the args directly works too, I'll prefer that in Emacs. In Evolution one helper script per remote host is easier to mange, in Gnus all configuration hides in '.gnus' and so does not cost miles of mouse movements when changes are needed. ;-D
I2P(D) tunnels seem to cough a lot after laptop suspend and resume. Ssh master connections seem to restart smoothly. And I haven't tried ssh tunnels in that context yet. So much to play with, so few hours per day. *sigh!*

B: Are you thinking what I am thinking, Pinky?
P: Yes, Brain, but if we plug in custom commands on the sending side, what would be needed on the other end to get a pure Emacs news mesh?
