In `mime/editor-mode':
calling `mime-editor/set-transfer-level-8bit';
writing message:
Headers:
--[[text/plain]]
8-bit text
--[[text/plain]]
8-bit text
calling `mime-editor/exit'.
It generates the following buffer contents (shifted to right to avoid
interpreting as multipart mime entity).
Headers:
Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 1.8)
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="Multipart_Mon_Sep_29_19:15:26_2003-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
--Multipart_Mon_Sep_29_19:15:26_2003-1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
8-bit text
--Multipart_Mon_Sep_29_19:15:26_2003-1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
8-bit text
--Multipart_Mon_Sep_29_19:15:26_2003-1--
Content-Transfer-Encoding is set to 8bit for message body parts, so
the entire message is 8bit. But Content-Transfer-Encoding is set to
7bit in header of message (as multipart/mixed entity).
This causes some mail UA's to cut higher bit in 8bit body parts on
receiving.
