Procmail itself doesn't do text replacement. You can pipe the
message to an external program (sed, perl, whatever) to perform your
replacement, but you still need to write that.

Note that encodings could complicate things for you, and
cryptographically signed messages will be broken.
I would STRONGLY advise that if you're changing message content, that
you add a header indicating that this has been done, because you are
in effect changing what someone has said in an email. If you're
doing this only for tweaking some automated report, or it is only for
your OWN email (which doesn't seem like the case), that wouldn't be
so important.
