Personally I'd probably choose to bounce an "inappropriate" message
(just like the demime author claims to have done in the past), but then
again I seem to be one of those so-called heretics who believes a bounce
message is not a lost message (just one that might need re-sending ;-).

(In the particular case of my ISO-8859-1 degree symbols it seems setting
the configuration variable $SEVEN_BIT_ONLY to zero will stop 8'th-bit
stripping....  If it also leaves alone the charset and transfer encoding
then it'll potentially allow people using different default charsets to
interoperate too!  :-)
