       NAME
             mimeto7bit - encode MIME message into 7-bit message

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/mimeto7bit < mime-message > encoded-mime-message

       DESCRIPTION
             mimeto7bit is used by the mail SMTP system to convert non-7-
             bit MIME messages into 7-bit MIME messages.  The mail message,
             read from standard input, must be a MIME message (mime-
             message).  Any parts of the message that have a Content-
             Transfer-Encoding heading of 8bit or binary will have its
             contents converted to quoted-printable or base64,
             respectively.

             If the message is not a MIME message, the conversion will
             fail.

             The converted message is written to standard output.
