Not as certainly as expected. Eg. Thunderbird 3 has not a single line of
code neither to recognize 8BITMIME nor for sending BODY= in MAIL FROM.
I just checked it in
mailnews/compose/src/nsSmtpProtocol.cpp
for 3.1.10.
But since
mail.strictly_mime
defaults to false it sends using transfer encoding 8bit regardless what the
MTA supports.
So one of the major MUAs out there cares even less as qmail about 8BITMIME;-)
