Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand why CTE: 8bit needs to be
removed for 7bit encodings. Does the 7bit CTE save bits or processing
time when the message is delivered (my understanding is that this used
to be the case long ago, but today very few active MTAs use 7bit)?
Does the 8bit CTE somehow distort any of the current 7bit encodings?
If the answer to both questions is no, maybe it's best to leave the
CTE at 8bit.
