Ummm, not that I have anything against UTF-7 (^_^) but why is sending
UTF-8 a problem? Granted it has to be Base64 or Q-P encoded (which is why
UTF-7 was invented in the first place) but there's nothing "illegal"
about that. If your MTA is smart enough to handle ESMTP then it can be
converted to CTE: 8BIT, removing the encoding overhead. I have to admit I
have no idea how many MTAs actually do that.
