Gotcha! see RFC2045--2047. The Content-transfer-encoding: 
field is *required* for a MIME message, or, better to say, if 
there's no such field it's *assumed* that it has "7bit" value.

OTOH, *if* your message is in Quoted Printable, it's *absolutely 
required* that Content-transfer-encoding: be set to "Quoted 
Printable". Without this, your message is just plain garbage.

Doesn't matter. Since it's *not* QP when it leaves your SMTP, it 
will *never* become one whatever server it passes...
