It's the way $message_body works. There is a wish
(http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185) for a way to get the body
without newlines flattened, but until then you probably have to pipe such
mail to a script. That way you can extract an appropriate body part if a user
sends a multipart mail, too.

Other option: Make sure some content scanning has been run; then you can
extract the body with help from some ${perl}.
