Now it doesn't announce it, but accepts, so RFC-compliant MUA or other MTA should do the conversion themselves and everything just works. If it announces the support, it effectively lies as it doesn't support conversion which is needed if it wants to send mail to non-compliant MTA. I wonder why many people in this thread still don't understand this. And also I can't see why some find this annoying behaviour or something wrong. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what it does now, as re-encoding will happen somewhere anyway as there are still many really non-8-bit-compliant MTAs, so why should Exim do this? -- WBR, Andrew
