AFAIK you can't change this behaviour. The deliver - program is 
"reponsible" for that. But you need it to deliver your mails.   :-)
In imapd.conf you can switch between rejecting (reject8bit: yes) and 
replacing with X (reject8bit: no). 
One solution could be: Change the source of deliver, compile it and then 
replace the "normal" deliver".

But you can solve that problem elsewhere: Use MUAs which are RFC 
compliant. There is a RFC (don't know which one it is) which says that 
Mail-Headers should be 7 Bit encoded.
So, Cyrus is very gracious accepting these mails anyways.   ;-)
