Not that I know of.

By the way you sent your email that I am responding to now as multipart
HTML/plaintext. I guess that’s why your email does not show up here:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/f4bdb657-6217-4ddd-aefa-10263e1af05d@app.fastmail.com/

Plain text is preferred. Certainly pure HTML emails will be dropped on
the floor.
