Sendmail and other mailers already handle 8-bit mail *bodies* just fine,
in general.

The mail standards people have, of late, shown little willingness to
contemplate raw 8-bit in *headers*, even as a future direction.  For the
moment, and probably for a long time to come, mail headers have to use RFC
2047 encodings.
