I apologize for the resend... backports ML didn't pick it up because apparently there's no way to set my tablet's email client to NOT send HTML emails. Live and learn.

I’m sorry to tell you, but the current version of backports isn’t supported to backport that far. The backports wiki say we support only back to 3.0, and IIRC, in more recent descusions, we abandoned support even back that far. Though I honestly don’t recall to which version we’re testing for anymore. No one ever likes this answer (including me), but perhaps you might consider upgrading your base kernel release. 2.6.37 was released eight years ago and 37 major version releases happened between there and 4.14. Your version of the kernel is missing support for some major features and gobs of security fixes. It’ll be hard work to push it forward eight years, but once you get there, keeping the kernel up-to-date is pretty easy. You might get it to work against such an old kernel, but it might take a bit of work and ingenuity.
