Now, consider a scenario where a mail client (supporting 8bit) sends

Also, could you please point out some mail clients dealing 8bit.
Do you understand that currently there is no binary-to-8bit
conversion registered in the transfer-encoding registry
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/transfer-encodings)? There is a draft
for deflate-8bit (draft-freed-mime-newenc-00), but I would be surprised
if any mail clients implemented it already, since it's likely to change.
Currently, the only standard way to get an 8bit message body is for the
body to originate as 8bit (for example, plain text in almost any charset
except ASCII); there is no standard conversion from binary to 8bit.
