Sendmail is 8-bit clean in body *and* header, with the only exception of machine readable addresses (i.e. address parts proper of From/To/CC/... header lines, and envelope sender/recipient). Only in the latter, it strips the 8th bit (so it can use characters with 8th bit set for internal tokens in the address rewriting rules). Regards, Felix.
