But the message did go through sendmail...

Raw... Here are the full headers (the first line -- the From_ -- is 
removed by sed before feeding the rest into deliver):

Should sendmail have re-encoded with something other than 8bit? I don't 
like doing that, because it increases the filesizes to no obvious
