Is upconversion actually allowed by RFC 2821? Because it will break any
PGP/MIME signature,
so will downconversion. having the signature on the transfer-encoded

Yes, I was confusing two things. It is Content-MD5 that is safe through
downconcersion, but may be proken following a subsequent upconversion (see
recent discussions on this list).
