I found out that the following works reliably:

① scp/rsync files to a box I can mail from
② $EDITOR 00*
③ Add a To: line, and possibly a In-Reply-To: line referencing
  the Message-ID from the introductory mail (to get them threaded),
  to each file; save and exit https://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm ^Wthe editor
④ for a in 00*; do sendmail -oem -oi -t -f sender@mydomain.com <"$a"; done

!BUT!

This does only work if the patchfile does NOT contain any non-7bit
characters. (This has affected me in the past when writing commit
messages with “typogra’phic” marks, as I’m used to, nowadays.) There
is *no* reliable way to transport inline patches through SMTP when
either the commit message or the patches/the patch context contain
such characters, as the SMTP transport path is probably not 8-bit
transparent (may convert to QP or Base64, or strip bit7).

So, in case I ever need to send such mails because the nōn-7bit
part is in the patch (as opposed to the commit message), please
bear with me when I need to attach them to a regular eMail.
