While I do not object against the feature and understand if could be useful for
some part of user base, I still do not think it is cron's job to check and/or
correct MIME format of job's output. The feature could be implemented as
external filter processing an output using a pipe, if needed.

And if it is embedded into the cron anyway, it should impose no regressions on
correctness and performance for general case. I'm not going to develop that
myself but I would commit the patch in form of correct and low-overhead
optional feature.
