If I send a message containing German Umlaute (like "äöü") the
message is encoded in quoted-printable.  Is it possible to just send
it in 8bit?

  It's probably sendmail 8, not nmh, unless you are running mhn -edit
  on your draft, that is doing the conversion.  From the operations
  manual:

    In all cases properly declared 8BITMIME data will be converted to
    7BIT as needed.

  This is a feature, not a bug.

  Tschüß!

  p.s. I just ran mhn -edit on this message in MH 6.8.4 and it set the
  character set to x-unknown.  Does nmh allow you to set the default
  character set so that if mhn detects 8 bit characters it can use,
  for example, iso-8859-1?
