On reception of e-mails you can force this by that token. (If your
GnuTLS implementation is new enough.)

On sending e-mails it won't help. Gmail is the server in that case and
has the right to select the cipher. In that direction it only helps to
not tell Gmail, that you support some other cipher.

+1 (Me and others already asked for that as well.)

As I remember, Sam doesn't like this idea very much. I tried some
patching of the code myself. But even if you change the preference in
the code, you will often get IPv4 connections instead of IPv6 ones. The
reason is, that often there are A records in the resolver cache after
resolving MX records. You whould have to ignore these hints and force a
AAAA resolving if no such records are known before. (Which will result
in higher latency and more DNS load.)

Matthias
