As far as I know this happens when sendmail notices that the receiving
end does not support 8BITMIME.

You can test it by connecting to the receiving server and issue "EHLO
<your server>". It should give something like:
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE
250-DSN
250-ONEX
250-XUSR
250 HELP
