And, of course, I do use attach at the What Now? prompt.

So, another approach to get what you want (8-bit message even if
it contains no 8-bit characters) would be to do all this:

1) Add support for locale profile component to nmh.
2) Use latest nmh (HEAD of master) or upcoming nmh 1.7.
3) Add "locale: <any 8-bit locale>" to profile.
4a) Add "mhbuild -headerencoding utf-8" to profile.  This
    requires that your SMTP server support SMTPUTF8.  And
    it would have the side effect of enabling EAI (RFC 6531),
    thereby permitting 8-bit characters in addresses.
or
4b) Put an 8-bit character in the body of every message.  You
    could do this in components files.

I'll do 1), but the other steps would be up to you.
