Exim, OTOH, *is* supposed to be 8-bit clean. That is weird. If you type
in more data after the ^C it correctly appears in the received message,
but the ^C gets turned into ff f4 ff fd 06 on this Solaris box.
I will investigate and see if there are any bugs of commission or
omission. Thanks for the report.
