You've hit the nail on the head. On leaving ARM the headers get munged to:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
 
The mailing list fixes that up. See the headers on one of the LPAE patches
sent by Catalin:

Even if I make sure my headers match this, they still get reverted to the
stuff I mentioned earlier. If I specify Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
then it gets left alone but I'm not sure if that's better or worse than
quoted-printable.

Oh for a local MTA... (ports are all blocked here).
