Could this be the cause of utf-8 posts from the ubuntu list not line
wrapping at "> " quoted lines? (us-ascii and iso-8859-1 encodings wrap
OK, but utf-8 ends up as loooong lines, due to missing newlines. :-(

Our mailhost uses sendmail 8.12.1-5, so is 8-bit clean, and shouldn't be
troubled by utf-8, IIUC. Can it be the upstream M$ mail server which is
fumbling the mime-encoding?
