 A, an i18mail user, sends to X, an ascii user.

 Message contains protocol elements for which converting gateway is not
 aware.

 Encapsulation does not require knowing these protocol elements.

 Converting gateway need to know these protocol elements, otherwise it
 is not able convert them.   If there is no permission to drop these
 elements, it is required to bounce message.
