Is there a header that could be added to indicate whether the source
mta sent the message as 8-bit, etc.? Perhaps something like, say,
"X-Origin-Content-Transfer-Encoding:"? Or is there a chance that some
downstream mta will remove or mangle it?

It might make troubleshooting a bit easier.

IMIO, mta's that can't or won't do better than 7-bit should not be
tolerated. But perhaps that's only because I am tired of getting
messages in non-European charsets that have been turned into garbage
by such systems. It's not a 7-bit world any more. There's no excuse.
