If you run the mail through a program you can make it MIME compliant.
You could trigger a FILTER action on the MAIL FROM sender (in an
smtpd access map) or on some attribute in the message header with
an header_checks map.
Fixing the mail requires headers like:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain
Content-transer-encoding: 8bit
