[ingo] "newline" in vacation message form procmail shows as \r\n

[Markus Krause]

Hi List!

i am using ingo/procmail for setting vacation messages.
this actually works fine except if a user enters text which contains  
line breaks (carriage return, newline ...(?)) e.g. to seperate the  
complimentary close from the text or additional information. procmail  
the has each linebreak translated into "\r\n", example:

----- entered into ingo form:
I am currently on vacation.
As soon as i return i will answer your mail personally.

With best regards

this leads to the following in the procmail script:
----- .procmailrc
echo "I am currently on vacation.\\r\\nAs soon as i return i will  
answer your mail personally.\\r\\n\\r\\nWith best regards\\r\\n   M.  
Krause" \
  23: #       ) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
-----

which is then display (e.g. in thunderbird) as one line:
-----
I am currently on vacation.\\r\\nAs soon as i return i will answer  
your mail personally.\\r\\n\\r\\nWith best regards\\r\\n   M. Krause
-----

is this the intended behaviour or am i doing something wrong?

thanks in advance for any hints!

regards
    markus
