Not usable email content encoding

We're mixing two things.

The From: header rewriting for DMARC participants is something sourceware
is doing now.

The Content-Transfer-Encoding: change is done by intermediate MTA's
whose identity is unknown.  (I don't believe this behaviour is
forbidden by RFCs, but even if it were, we may have no way of fixing
the mystery MTA.)
