Sadly, it does not; whatever you put in the draft is just blasted out on
the wire.
So, implementing this .... I have no objection, but it would involve
drilling through a number of layers to make it happen (you'd want
to pass the message encoding down to the SMTP routines). Also,
having it dynamically reencode to q-p at "send" time would be very
challenging; it would have to error out.
As much as it pains me to admit it .... I kind of find myself on the side
of DJB on this one. Interoperability with 7-bit mailers? Really? REALLY?
Is that even an issue anymore? A large part of me is working up the energy
to care about them.
