Re: A question about 8BITMIME support.
I remember I hit this issue in past. IIRC sun's javamail does not add
the BODY=8BITMIME attribute for the MAIL command, and it also does not
add the SIZE=XXXXX attribute when the SIZE extension is supported.
I vaguely remember that servers supporting 8BITMIME extension correctly
default to 8BITMIME body when they read the data even if they don't
receive the BODY= attribute.
Maybe someone else here can give you more details.

Ok....the SIZE extension is one I'm not aware of. Where's the RFC for
this one?
