Yes, users do. And notice about strict 7-bit ASCII within headers
does not help.

Same problem using Cyrillic. I have not found anything else and
used a simple hack. 
Locate the following 2 files in the source tree: lmtpengine.c and message.c

change them the following way ( by inserting `#if 0' and `#endif' ) and 
re-compile the entire software.

This eliminates the substitution unconditionally.


lmtpengine.c:

.....
                /* ignore this whitespace, but we'll copy all the rest in */
                break;
            } else {

// HACK -- Violet
#if 0
                if (c >= 0x80) {
                    if (reject8bit) {
                        /* We have been configured to reject all mail of this
                           form. */
                        r = IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINS8BIT;
                        goto ph_error;
                    } else {
                        /* We have been configured to munge all mail of this
                           form. */
                        c = 'X';
                    }
                }
#endif
                /* just an ordinary character */
                body[off++] = c;
.....

and message.c:

.....
            else {
                sawcr = 0;
                blankline = 0;
// HACK -- Violet
#if 0
                if (inheader && *p >= 0x80) {
                    if (reject8bit) {
                        /* We have been configured to reject all mail of this
                           form. */
                        if (!r) r = IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINS8BIT;
                    } else {
                        /* We have been configured to munge all mail of this
                           form. */
                        *p = 'X';
                    }
                }
#endif
            }
        }

        fwrite(buf, 1, n, to);
    }
