We use ListServ to allow clients to send out messages via distribution jobs created by web applications. Ever so often we have people who will enter a message that contains an 8bit char, ie Microsoft curly apostrophes or the extended dash. Most mail readers can read these messages, but some will either show the end user nothing or the characters come across formatted weird. I was wondering if I could just include the Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit on all my messages? Will this cause a problem for messages that only have 7bit chars?
