In today's transport environment, I believe that CTE's of 7-bit and 8-bit
are the most useful choices; both specify line canonicalization and differ

I would say that the useful choices are 7-bit and Quoted-Printable (for text).
There are still a lot of non-8-bit-transparent SMTP MTA's so I would like the
recommendation to be to use 8-bit only when supported by the
8BITMIME ESMTP extension.
