      Protocols for extending SMTP to pass 8bit characters have been
      defined <xref target="refs.RFC1425" /> <xref target="refs.RFC1426" />.
      These protocols require that messages transported by
      the extended SMTP are to be encoded in MIME 
      <xref target="refs.RFC1341" /> <xref target="refs.RFC1342" />. 
      Before work began on these protocols, several SMTP implementations 
      adopted ad-hoc mechanisms for sending 8bit data. It is desirable 
      for the extended SMTP environment and these ad hoc mechanisms 
      interoperate.  This document outlines the problems in this 
      environment and an approach to minimizing the cost of transition 
      from current usage of non-MIME 8bit messages to MIME.

   RFC 821 defines a 7bit transport.  A transport agent which does not
   clear the high order bit upon receipt of octets with this bit set in
   SMTP messages is called 8 bit transparent in this document. An
   implementation of the general SMTP Extensions document 
      <xref target="refs.RFC1425" /> and the
      8bit extensions protocol <xref target="refs.RFC1426" />

   bits of an octet is called 8bit ESMTP.  An implementation of extended
   SMTP which does not accept 8bit characters is called 7bit ESMTP.  A
   gateway is defined to be a transport agent with User Agent authority

      SMTP as defined in RFC 821 limits the sending of Internet Mail to
      US-ASCII <xref target="refs.ASCII" /> characters.  As the Internet 
      has grown to include non-English correspondents, the need to 
      communicate with character sets
      other than US-ASCII has prompted many vendors and users to extend
      SMTP or RFC 822 to use non-ASCII character sets.  Common approaches
      are to send 7 bit national variant ISO 646 character sets over
      current RFC822/SMTP, to extend SMTP and RFC822 to use 8bit ISO 8859
      character sets, and to use proprietary PC character sets.

      If a message body has been upgraded to MIME, the RFC 822 headers

   the header encoding rules of RFC1342. A gateway should recode all
   unstructered header fields as well as RFC 822 "comment"s and
   "phrase"s according to the rules of RFC 1342. There is no equivalent
   in RFC 1342 to the "8bit" Content-Transfer-Encoding value for message
   bodies so all 8bit header text must be transformed according to
   either the "B" or the "Q" encoding method.  For ISO 8859 character
