Information about 8bitmime
8BITMIME (RFC 1652) is an SMTP extension standardized in 1994 that facilitates the exchange of e-mail messages containing octets outside the seven-bit ASCII range. Prior to the availability of 8BITMIME implementations, mail user agents employed several techniques to cope with the seven-bit limitation, including binary-to-text encodings and UTF-7. However, each of these workarounds necessarily inflates the bandwidth of non-ASCII transmissions.
At least the following servers advertise the 8BITMIME extension:
