One idea: write a system filter that looks for the
"X-MIME-Autoconverted" header (and possibly for certain values in that
header, depending on what these remote sendmail installations put
there). I *think* you can use the system filter to add a header, so you
could add a Content-encoding header then, and maybe your local MUAs
would be able to handle the messages. If you really want to emulate
sendmail, though, I think you'd have to write a script (Python, Perl,
whatever) to "fix" these messages, ie. base64-decode the content and
remove the X-MIME-Autoconverted header. Bet it could be done in ~30
lines of Python... ;-)
