I think as long as you initially inject the message into exim through a
pipe or somesuch you ought to be OK. If you put it in through (B)SMTP you
are going to need to preprocess it somewhat (and the whole issue of end of
line handling can get hairy).
Would it be nasty to suggest that the system carry that sort of data in
some form of MIME attachments anyhow - which might also allow some other
interesting features to be added (extra parts containing additional data
or just multiple file support).
