cron isn?t a mail sending tool ? not the right place to police something
like this. Seems to me that sendmail is.

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.
