In a recent bugtraq message, I noticed these peculiar headers:
> X-Warning: Original message contained 8-bit characters, however during
> the SMTP transport session the receiving system was unable to
> announce capability of receiving 8-bit SMTP (RFC 1425-1428),
> and as this message does not have MIME headers (RFC 1341) to

> X-Warning: We ASSUME it is less harmfull to add the MIME headers, and

> and to strip the message to 7-bits.. (RFC 1428 Appendix A)
Could anyone help me identify which system performed this mangling?
I'd like to correspond with the postmaster responsible for it to point
out a choice that appears to have gotten overlooked by whoever designed
the mangling software.
The Received: headers on the copy I got, in case they help anyone:

(Up to here I am inclined to not suspect the machines, because I've
never seen such mangling on any other bugtraq mail...though perhaps
just none of it arrived on netspace.org with 8-bit characters in it.)

And the Message-ID is <199608130356.WAA17958@manifold.algebra.com>.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
