 if we were sending multiple parts (whether /mixed, /alternative,
 or /related), we'd allow base64 inside them.
 
 (Note that "we don't care about this because the mailing lists
 are broken" is not a good answer, given that the Ximian mailing
 lists exhibit this broken behavior :-)

+Wow, thats a really awful problem.
+
+FWIW evolution only encodes if the smtp server says it doesn't support
+8 bit.  And only uses base64 if other smtp requirements demand it
+(embedded 0 characters, or lines longer than 999 characters),
+otherwise it uses quoted printable.
+
+Umm, we could use the stuff in camel from the mailer to determine if
+the message might be produced like this, and multipart it when sending?
+
+(this doesn't really have anything to do with i18n, fwiw - re the
+keyword).
