I think that’s just for support of i18n headers and email addresses, nothing to 
do with non-ascii in the body of the message, so probably a red herring here.

If you’re sending purely ascii payloads then everything will be fine. If you’re 
sending non-ascii payloads to servers that don’t announce 8BITMIME that could 
cause problems.

I don’t know for sure but if using a content-transfer-encoding other than 8bit 
fixed things I’m suspicious. I’d check whether the mail you’re sending as 8bit 
has non-ascii in it anywhere (aboutmy.email flags that on the payload tab, I 
think). If it does then that’s your problem. If not … your problem is much more 
interesting. :)

Cheers,
