Indeed, and in the fragment of the header with the changed encoding type, that I posted, MIT even owned up to 
it!  :-)  

Further checking has revealed that when I send a message that hasn't got any 8-bit characters in it, my email 
program sends the message tagged as "7-bit".  If there are any 8-bit characters, it sends it 
"quoted-printable".  

It is in the latter case that MIT changes it to "8-bit".
