[ingo] proposal/patch for "newline" problem with procmail and vacation

[Markus Krause]

Hi list,

i reported what i think is a bug some days ago and as there was no  
response at all i checked the code and found a quite simple solution  
(though still wondering if that really nobody else has observed yet ..)

i think there is a command line option missing in the .procmailrc  
which is created by ingo in the "vacation part" to tell "echo" to  
enable interpretation of backslash escapes: -e

                      $this->_action[] = '';
                  }

or is there a better solution?
