This is what mimedefang.c does.  Read the code carefully... mimedefang.c
won't write out '\r' characters.  The reason is that a lot of software
(SpamAssassin, DCC, Razor) expects to be fed the mail body just as
procmail would feed it, and if you feed it the data from the wire with
the '\r' characters, the software fails in strange ways.
