It doesn't seem like a zmailer problem, but you might be able to work around
it in some instances by not using the "-8" flag to mailbox.  Removing that
flag will prevent mailbox from converting QP text to 8-bit when it pust the
msg into their mailbox.  

Of course, if the msg body is already 8-bit when it comes in, then this
won't help.
