Description
#20 is adding more of the test mode - saying use SMTPUTF8 and error if it's not available. For MUA mode this should be more conditional - see if it's needed based on the content of the message and make sure everything is encoded properly
note also 8BITBODY, which appears to be complementary to SMTPUTF8 but which we don't currently support

Research direction
Start by locating the MUA-mode implementation and reviewing the test-mode work described in #20. Trace how message content determines whether SMTPUTF8 is needed, then inspect the existing SMTP handling for encoding and the unsupported 8BITBODY option. Done means conditional SMTPUTF8 behavior, correct message encoding, and a considered result for 8BITBODY.
