Here’s a generic procmail recipe:

    :0
    * ^Content-Transfer-Encoding:.*quoted-printable
    * ^Content-Type:.*text/plain
    * ! ^Content-Type:.*format=flowed
    * B ?? \r
    {
        CONTENT_TYPE=`formail -x Content-Type`

        :0 fhw
        | formail -i "Content-Type:$CONTENT_TYPE; format=flowed"
    }

This checks quoted-printable encoded text/plain messages that
don’t use format=flowed for CRs in the message body. (procmail
decodes the transfer encoding before applying regexen, hence `\r`
instead `=0D`.)

I’m still unsure whether this is the correct thing to do, but the
only other solution I found is to sed the CRs out of the body,
which is way more invasive.
