Your mail command creates an 8BITMIME message. Postfix down-grades
it to 7BIT as required by Internet mail RFC documents.

Postfix does not add MIME headers. That is the job of the mail USER
agent, not the job of the mail TRANSFER agent.

MIME conversions are defined only for mail that plays by the rules
of the MIME protocols. So it is your job to provide MIME compliant
messages.
