The second one (8.7.2) wants 8BITMIME.

To disable 8->7 bits  reencoding, one must the  either the '8' flag  in the
mailer  definition   or  use  the   smtp8 mailer   (which   amount to   the
same). Sendmail 8.7.x must have the following too :

# 8-bit data handling
O EightBitMode=pass8

This is the default but some sites change it :-(
