Bill, thank for for the whiskey a few months back. Please accept my
apologies for forgetting about this email.

You'll be delighted to know that I've committed the change to default
accept_8bitmime to true. You may, or may not, be less happy to know
that I did this independently of your offer; I found this while checking
for references to past discussion of the issue, after pushing the change
to the master git repo.

That small bottle is calling out to me. I think I shall heed its siren
call now. It's a crime that there's still some left.
