I agree.  I've never used -attach, instead sticking with #-directives,
and yet still send UTF-8 bodies with £ in text/plain emails with no
attachments by mistake.  This bug doesn't depend on using -attach.

In that case, would plumping for character literals be nicer?

    if (*p < ' ' && *p != '\t' || *p > '~') {
        non_ascii = 1;
