If you switch on 8bitmime advertising, it still doesn't downgrade. I
think it just tries to deliver the mail as 8bit, regardless of what
the
receiving MTA does. I think postfix and sendmail do the same, but I'm
not sure.
Exchange advertises 8bit and then bounces the mail if it tries to
forward it
to a server that doesn't advertise 8bit.
This (entirely RFC valid yet completely broken) behaviour has bitten me
a couple of times.

If everyone (mail transport/mail handlers) just followed the basic
mail networking principle of:
Thou should not touch passthru mail (except for network traces)
Are there the same issues with PGP or S/Mime email?
