Always strip headers to 7 bits

V8.10 and above

Older versions of sendmail strip only the high bit from header characters when transmitting an 8-bit message to a 7-bit-only site. Beginning with V8.10 sendmail , it is possible to use this F=6 delivery agent flag to force sendmail to always strip the high bit from all header characters, no matter what.

This F=6 delivery agent flag is not set by default for any delivery agent.
