Yes, I know, but I wish you'd read what I've said about 8BITMIME.  It's 
an overlay that makes an INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE TO THE MESSAGE FORMAT, which 
is a version change in any world I know.

Ditto EAI.

Well, sure, neither is DKIM, you could authenticate your mail some other 
way.  I don't understand what point you're making here.
