Keep in mind that 8bit content-transfer-encoding is MTA specific. If
your MTA supports ESMTP, it works fine, but otherwise, that's what
transfer encodings like quoted-printable[1] or base64 are for. See
also UTR #17 at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr17/

Alex.

[1] 8bit character encoding schemes like UTF-8 (nee UTF-2) for example
lend themselves nicely to quoted-printable since they preserve the
7bit ASCII character encoding.
