It is undefined what it does. It certainly does not convert the file. It
probably mangles it. If you want to handle a conversion process, take a
look at the "file_format" option of the appendfile transport. For
example:

local_delivery:
  driver = appendfile
  check_string = 
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
  file_format = "*mbx*\r\n : local_delivery :\
                 From      : local_bsd_delivery"  
  mbx_format
  message_prefix = 
  message_suffix = 
  return_path_add


local_bsd_delivery:
driver = appendfile
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
return_path_add
