I suspect that you shouldn't do this.  This would badly interfere both
with existing format-patch behaviour that adds these MIME-Version and
Content-Type headers by looking at the contents, and with recent
format-patch fix 6bf4f1b (format-patch: generate MIME header as needed
even when there is format.header, 2008-03-14) to make the detection based
on contents (and presense of format.headers).
