Not trying to give you a hard time by the way, just conveying a
couple of issues dealt with as part of the the recent Postfix EAI
implementation... There are many opportunities for subtle
interactions, I would treat this as work-in-progress and continue
to think hard about remaining issues.

Does Exim send MIME bounces? What is the "charset" of bounce bodies
when interpolating UTF-8 addresses into error messages in the bounce
body? What is the content-type of the bounce message when returning
attached original messages that contain UTF-8 headers? ...

Lots of other stuff to think about.
