No. SIZE gets disabled only if 8to7 conversion is needed. This is if the source
announced BODY=8BITMIME and the destination doesn't support 8BITMIME at all.

Sure. I'm not aware of any troubles since we advertise it. We do it since we
use DKIM actively since the first patch from Tom was available for exim.
But maybe my patch is still useful to relay this tiny bit of information to
systems supporting 8BITMIME anyway. That's why I provided it after this
discussion came up again and Phil Pennock asked me to do so;-)
Greetings, Wolfgang
