What is the correct way to rewrite the entire message body?
Probably easiest to write your own queue plugin that does what you need.
I'm guessing someone must have wanted to do more extensive
body-rewriting before, so has there been some kind of official(ish) talk
about adding such a feature (without one having to write a queue-plugin)?
As Matt suggested, it is almost certainly easier to write a queue plugin
than to embed that functionality in the core. An MTA, as a rule, should
never rewrite a message (other than appending new headers). On the
other hand, a queue plugin can act as a LDA (local deliver agent) and
can therefore do anything it wants to the message (which has basically
been accepted for delivery at that point).
I took a look at serializing delivery (i.e. handling each recipient
independently, which is what the OP was talking about doing) and it is
surprisingly tricky to do right in the core (since you cannot accept for
one rcpt and not the others). On the other hand, a queue plugin is
pretty simple, since you are handed an already complete message;
queue/maildir is an example (which doesn't actually serialize delivery).
