[Dovecot] OT: Fixing Messages To Be RFC 2822 Compliant

Hi,

Yeah, I'm vaguely familiar with formail, but (after reviewing the
literature) it doesn't seem like it can be used to identify/fix existing
messages (unless you already know how they're broken and give it explicit
instructions to fix them).

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.
