So in exchange for sending BODY (if either 7bit body or 8bit AND receiving
side has 8BITMIME) we stop sending SIZE for 8bit messages if the receiving
side does not adviertise 8BITMIME. Is this a good exchange? SIZE has
real use.

I consider this an argument for simply going the qmail way. "Everything
is 8bit clean nowadays anyway, lets just advertise 8BITMIME and ignore
the finer points of RFC 1652."
