Re: Upgrade to 8.14.2 stops automatic MIME conversion to 8-bit

I've confirmed that the same issue applies to my compiles of 8.14.3.
The different versions were compiled with the same options, I've tried
it on Solaris 8 Sparc and Solaris 10 x86. The new version includes
NETINET6 support and some minor looking option changes (see a diff of
the sendmail -d debug output below).

I believe the option changes relate to this from the RELEASE_NOTES but
I can't see how they'd affect the X-MIME-Autoconverted behaviour.

Any help is much appreciated.

snip from RELEASE_NOTES
"8.14.2/8.14.2 2007/11/01
If a message was queued and it contained 8 bit characters in
a From: or To: header, then those characters could be
"mistaken" for internal control characters during a queue
run and trigger various consistency checks. Problem
noted by Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
