If the body of the message contains a NUL character, the the CTE MUST be "binary" NOT "8bit".

Cyrus WILL transcode a properly formatted MIME message on ingest, if necessary.

As the RFC for IMAP states:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-9
(3) The ASCII NUL character, %x00, MUST NOT be used at any time.
But the message did go through sendmail...

Raw... Here are the full headers (the first line -- the From_ -- is removed by sed before feeding the rest into deliver):

Should sendmail have re-encoded with something other than 8bit? I don't like doing that, because it increases the filesizes to no obvious benefit... Thanks!
