How about adding a prominent header line that states that the
originating MUA is defective, and that your MTA is doing its best to
cope, but you don't take the blame for any problems; something like
that. It would be nice if you could insert the name of the specific MUA
in there (Eudora, Outlook, ...)
This way they (the users of such MUA's) might begin to realize that they
are using non-compliant software, and they might complain to their
vendor...
