Alright, I found the SMTP server and sent the patches out again with git
send-email. Let me know how those look.

For applying with "git am" and for reviewing with "I can just quote parts of
the patch and comment on it", attachments in anything that is not text/plain
format are also not ideal, but we can try that.
We've had a few patches come in recently that were attachment in a signed mail,
and neither patchwork nor git could handle these mails in a satisfying way - as
in: patchwork did not recognize them as "patch", and "git am" declared "no
patch in there" - so "save patch as individual file, git am, manually add
in-reply-to to the auto- generated "patch applied" reply mail, etc.
It's a bit of try and error what works in a given environment.
(git send-email talking SMTP to Exchange might actually work more nicely than
outlook. Maybe that was just one particularily weird version of Exchange, or
"too many virus scanner plugins hooked in", given that this was Sophos...)
