But which SMTP? The MTAs are already free to modify the transport encoding on
the fly. E.g., I submit an 8bit message to my local MTA. It then forwards it
to your local MTA, which only supports 7 bit ASCII, requiring my MTA to apply a
transport encoding to the message before sending it to you.
Which of these two SMTP hops is the authoritative one you want reflected in the
on-disk representation of the message?
