p.s. these days almost all SMTP servers can deal with 8bit message

send 8bitmime messages without converting, and they mostly seem to
get away with it. it's certainly a lot simpler, and these days, it
may even be less error-prone. it's easy to write an 8-bit to 7-bit
converter that corrupts messages.
Spammers just-send-8.
last I knew, so did qmail. so maybe the ability to filter just-send-8 is a
good thing :)
