=A0I wonder why all my mail from the linux mailing list goes
through erm1.u-strasbg.fr ? If mailers which don't announce
themselves as 8BITMIME are frowned upon, and "punished" with QP,
why are they used as exploders then?

I needed exploders, and I needed them badly. So any piece of crap
machine that was willing to push mail for me I accepted, no questions
asked. It was important to get vger running smoothly asap.
"convenience" items like 8bitmime etc. was secondary for the decision
making.
