The conversion has to do with attachments.  When in transit, email is
essentially a bunch of text.  Any binary attachments sent in an email would
need to be converted to a text format (UUencoding, Mime, Binhex, etc).  

Ask the remote mail administrators which encoding types they support and set
your IMC accordingly.
