Current SMTP standards do not allow anything else except 7-bit ASCII
in the headers. Thus the MUA should convert any 8-bit characters to
the special header MIME encoding when sending and of course manage to
convert the MIME information back. This mail _should_ demonstrate
that, unless my Gnus surprises me.
