I am aware of the standards.  I just noticed that it seemed Courier was
not rewriting the message properly when it tried to compensate for the
invalid email.  However, I have since discovered that the problem was
not Courier, but rather the sending program which did not know how to
deal with 8-bit characters.

The bofh suggestion is interesting because I already have that in my
setup.  Based on my reading of the man pages, BOFHBADMIME=accept should
cause there to be no rewriting of the message, but it seems to happen
anyway.  This is not a problem for me, but it is interesting that this
option does not seem to do what the man pages suggest that it should.
