Hi all,

I'm seeing problems with Courier (0.36.1) rejecting messages containing 
8-bit data (typically, an 8-bit apostrophe character) with the following 
error:

The following message contains 8-bit content, but does not have the 
required MIME headers for 8-bit data transport.

The MIME headers of such messages look like this:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

Note that the content-transfer-encoding is specified as 'binary', not 
8bit.  From rfc2045, sec 2.9:

   "Binary data" refers to data where any sequence of octets whatsoever
   is allowed.

My interpretation of the RFC is that 'binary' content transfer encoding 
should allow 8-bit characters in the body -- is this incorrect, or is 
Courier rejecting these messages erroneously?
