The "binary" content-transfer-encoding requires a binary
transport, not merely 8bitmime. Under ESMTP it would
conflict with the concept of a line terminated by CRLF,
which is inherently not binary. 

AFAIK, binary is only used when encoding HTTP posts
with the MIME multipart/form-data content type. It
might also be used for an imap server internal storage,
with questionable advantages.
