Somehow you need to get the non-printing character into a shell command.
One way I found of doing it was to create a file containing the command
exim -Mmd 15HKhU-0000zm-00 '?h10@???'
^
where I used my text editor to get the non-printing character into the
command. Then I just ran the file as a shell script.
If you can get the non-printer in from the keyboard, you could do it
directly. On my xterm, on a Sun keyboard, I can get that particular
character (hex A0, octal 240, decimal 160) by pressing Shift-Meta-space
when typing into the 'cat' command, but not when typing at the shell
(bash).
Aha! When in doubt, RTFM. By reading the bash man page, I have come up
with the answer:
exim -Mmd 15HKvU-00013Q-00 $'\240'h10@???
I do not know if that works for other shells, though.
