I concur. For example, groups.yahoo.com (with half billion users) advertises 8BITMIME but doesn't convert, no problem. The unwanted conversion (by senders' sendmail) because of Exim's default accept_8bitmime=false was the first problem I had with Exim. :) -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
