My MUA does not specify any Content-Transfer-Encoding encoding and according to
the RFC 2045 section 6.1 it should be correct:
   An encoding type of 7BIT requires that the body
   is already in a 7bit mail-ready representation.  This is the default
   value -- that is, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT" is assumed if the
   Content-Transfer-Encoding header field is not present.


You quoted:

but even the web mail archive does not contain the `Content-Transfer-Encoding'
header (and MHonArc also correctly interprets the patch there):

You must have some local mail filtering there, please check it.

Thanks for the notice, found it unfortunately too late.
