Sure. At the same time, as long as someone has 8-bit clean servers
on all the mail pathes, then he can assume that he can just-send-8.

So, I'm afraid your statement is completely meaningless.

From the headers of Mastaka's mail:

Received: from [131.112.32.132] by dimacs.rutgers.edu (5.59/SMI4.0/RU1.5/3.08)
        id AA02477; Wed, 4 Jan 95 10:25:57 EST
Received: by necom830.cc.titech.ac.jp (5.65+/necom-mx-rg); Thu, 5 Jan 95 
00:14:03 +0900

(btw - the PTR entry pointing from 131.112.32.132 to necom830 seems to be
broken...)

necom830 makes connections all over the world.

The Internet has a *LOT* of non-8-bit-clean mailers -- probably over a million
of them. Literally.

You can't just blindly invert logic like that - if it could, *your* statement
would be completely meaningless as well.
