list mail meta-question

[mouse () Holo Rodents Montreal QC CA (der Mouse)]

In a recent bugtraq message, I noticed these peculiar headers:

> X-Warning: Original message contained 8-bit characters, however during
>            the SMTP transport session the receiving system was unable to
>            announce capability of receiving 8-bit SMTP (RFC 1425-1428),
>            and as this message does not have MIME headers (RFC 1341) to
>            enable encoding change, we had very little choices.
> X-Warning: We ASSUME it is less harmfull to add the MIME headers, and
>            convert the text to Quoted-Printable, than not to do so,
>            and to strip the message to 7-bits.. (RFC 1428 Appendix A)

Could anyone help me identify which system performed this mangling?
I'd like to correspond with the postmaster responsible for it to point
out a choice that appears to have gotten overlooked by whoever designed
the mangling software.

The Received: headers on the copy I got, in case they help anyone:

(Up to here I am inclined to not suspect the machines, because I've
never seen such mangling on any other bugtraq mail...though perhaps
just none of it arrived on netspace.org with 8-bit characters in it.)

And the Message-ID is <199608130356.WAA17958 () manifold algebra com>.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
