I tried this by telnetting to Demon's outgoing smtp server running Exim
3.3 (known variously as post.demon.nl and post.mail.nl.demon.net- 2
different IP numbers), which advertises 8BITMIME to an ehlo. Sent
Norwegian 8bit characters, in Unix command-line mail, to my own PC.
It sends mail via 7bit mmdf servers and I got the message (i.e. it
wasn't bounced), without the Norwegian characters.
