It came to me as:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

[How] does it appear in your outbox? Do you have REPRO ON?
how did it get reflected to you?
And when I mail something to a mainframe, it often arrives as:
charset=USASCII
when it has clearly been translated to EBCDIC. If a MTA/MDA is going
to perform such a conversion, it ought to adjust the MIME headers to
agree.
