Well 8bitmime is implemented almost everywhere. The thing is, I can't
turn it on without installing a non-Exim smart host to downgrade
messages that I send to other Exim sites!
Are you SURE about Exim not being able to handle it on the inbound if we
were to switch to defaulting it ON?

Never mind. Seems 8BITMIME is largely *irrelevant*.

Sometimes even a blind hog (Ich not DJB) finds an acorn (DJB's pragmatic
note).
I've been trafficing happily in bothway UTF8 AND Chinese plus various
other non-ASCII encoding from Day ONE (4.4X), ditto QMail for many years
before that..
Even tested Chinese UID:PWD (PostgreSQL-resident)
Now and then an issue reading some weird or mixed non-UTF encoding in an
MUA.
Otherwise seamless.
No - that isn't 8BITMIME. Just 8-bit transparent.
Rest is up to the IMAP/POP and MUA.
But seems good enough that there doesn't seem to be a remaining NEED for
8BITMIME, either.
Trying to learn and grown anyway .. just optioned-on:
allow_utf8_domains
Nap time .....
