 This turns out to be an Exim ESMTP implementation bug, not sendmail.  Exim 
 understands "MAIL From: <..> SIZE=nnn" and "... BODY=8BITMIME", but not 
 "... SIZE=nnn BODY=8BITMIME" at the same time.  The SPT_NONE "fix" was a 
 red herring, mail to slip.net works in all cases except when the message 
 contains 8-bit data.
 
 Cheers,
