Yes...  This is from the sendmail man page:

     EightBitMode=mode
                 Set the handling of eight bit input to seven bit destinations
                 to mode: m (mimefy) will convert to seven-bit MIME format, p
                 (pass) will pass it as eight bits (but violates protocols),
                 and s (strict) will bounce the message.

And my sendmail.cf (by "default") says:

# 8-bit data handling
O EightBitMode=pass8

But it still transmogrifies into qp when talking to ifi.uio.no.
Anybody have any ideas why?  Or perhaps is should be "p" verbatim?
Hm, I'll try to change it to "p"...
