In general, it shouldn't matter too much.  Probably the simplest thing to do
is encode the parts as:

  Content-type: application/x-cpantester-report
  Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

QP will leave things pretty skimmable, but a bit munged.  Using a non-plaintext
type allows us to ignore the question of charset, which is probably not a known
quantity.  We could assume that it's utf-8 and run with that.

Things checking subject would be entirely unaffected, as CTE only affects the
body.  Things checking the subject and body would be /mostly/ unaffected, since
nearly anything (I hope!) will be using some class to separate the body and
header, which then would take care of the CTE automatically.
