Don't forget POP and IMAP!

Good point.  I may have missed something obvious, but my quick read of
RFC 1939 says that POP3 only supports RFC 822 messages.  Can someone
comment on POP3's capabilities to deal with 8BitMIME and binary content?
Presumably, at least 8BitMIME is supported, or else POP3 servers would
have been corrupting all sorts of European charsets for years.

Can conforming IMAP4 implementations only support 7bit bodies?  If so,
what the capabilities negotiation to indicate 8BitMIME support?
