Are there any extant tools to detect 8bit mail (identified by a Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit or not) and to suitably transform the affected MIME parts (or base message if no MIME) to quoted-printable?
The easy way to handle this is to configure your MTA so that it thinks that it is 7-bit only, and it should do the conversion for you. Sendmail certainly does this, and I'm pretty sure postfix does too. Not sure about any of the others.
The only other alternative I know of would be to hack the gateway code in Mailman so that it does the conversion.
