I don't understand what you mean by "destination mailer". If it is the final MTA, then the statement doesn't make sense to me. If it's the destination MUA, then there are two ways of adhering to the standard: 1. strictly adhering to the standard, and refusing all mesasages that don't fit 2. adhering to the standard, but put some configurable best guess on the messages that don't (in Norway that would typically be to display messages with 8bit characters and no MIME markup, as text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1) It sounds to me that you're advocating alternative 1. To me, alternative 2 is the only sensible approach.
