Surely though, send-email is simply a helper for sending patches generated 
by format-patch?  Is there any reason to deny the ability to set the 
prefix to those who don't use send-email but do use format-patch? 
(Personally I found send-email to be cumbersome and confusing, so I've 
stopped using it ...)

It's format-patch that applies the current "[PATCH]" prefix anyway ...
