You could use a recursive SWITCHRC within procmail and not call any
outside programs at all, but it's a pain to write, and it's probably no
more efficient than simply running tr (well, a shell and tr) as Ian
suggested.

Thank you David and others who suggested a solution. I suspected
avoiding sed or tr for that task would entail too much complexity but I
wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Cheers,
