The meaning of this is not clear.
- what is "8-bit ASCII" ? ASCII is a 7-bit character encoding
  standard, period.
- if you accept MIME encoding, does it include 8bit "encoding" of
  ISO-8859-1 characters ? (but then I don't understand why you say
  you don't accept 8bit "ASCII" postings).  
  I hope you're not even thinking of QP

Anyway, if you're not 8bit clean yet, it's huge time to get a real MUA 
and newsreader.
