With MIME, you have the Content-Transfer-Encoding field, which allows for 8bit. And then, if you have a Content-Type type that supports charset parameter, you can "legally" have a body that is non-ASCII.
A MIME message that has a Mime-Version: and appropriate C-T-E: headers can certainly be non-ASCII. What's illegal is sending non-ASCII *without* such headers (which is what nmh has been doing in the past).
