Sendmail now polices it - so cron emails get stuck if they contain a
bare cr. Presumably every mta is now doing something similar.

There may be a cron setting that I'm missing to avoid this, I haven't
looked yet.

It is, of course, possible to run the output of every cron job through a
filter too.

my sendmail is now replacing bare cr with space so cron emails are
delivered.
