You can use an inline attachment for that, like this:

#(define woozle (make-hash-table 239))
onceinclude = #(define-music-function (parser location str) (string?)
   #{ \include $(if (eq? (car (hash-create-handle! woozle str #t)) str)
                   str "/dev/null") #} )

\onceinclude "/dev/null"

This also has the advantage that the mailer is not going to mangle
spaces and line ends.

Inline parts give you both.

Oh come on.  The above may at worst look a bit wordy if you use a
MIME-incapacitated mail reader.
