8bit is not considered safe for SMTP - a SMTP server is 8bit safe if it
supports 8bitmime (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1652.txt), but it's no
guarantee that 8bit-safe server will route only with 8bit-safe servers.

By default content are encrypted either via quote-printable or base64, with
the content-transfer-encoding set accordingly.
