rfc 1344
	    If format conversion is done,  it  is  STRONGLY  RECOMMENDED
            that some kind of trace information (probably in the form of
            a Received header field) should be added  to  a  message  to
            document the conversion that has been performed.

            Some people have expressed concerns,  or  even  the  opinion
            that  conversions  should  never be done.  To accomodate the
            desires of those who dislike the idea  of  automatic  format
            conversion.   For  this  reason,  it  is suggested that such
            transformations be generally restricted to  gateways  rather
            than  general  message transport services, and that services
            which perform such conversions  should  be  sensitive  to  a
            header field that indicates that the sender does not wish to
            have any such conversions performed.  A suggested value  for
            this header field is:

            Content-Conversion: prohibited
