I'm confused: are you using mu4e or are you using Rmail?  These are
two different packages, and AFAIK they don't share any code.

Also, bug#28266 explicitly says that the issue happens when
sendmail.el is used as the MUA, which means it's not about message.el,
a completely different MUA.

So I think these are probably two different issues, although the
result is similar.  There are many ways to get raw bytes in Emacs when
you want non-ASCII characters, and not all of them are due to the same
bug...
