If you set
Quarantine Whole Message = no
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes
then all you need to do is move the qf+df files into the outgoing mqueue,
and they will get picked up and delivered.
If you have
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no
then you can use "sendmail -t < input-message-file" to send the message to
the original recipient.

There are
Convert Dangerous HTML To Text
and
Convert HTML To Text
options which will control this. Of course these values can all be
rulesets, so that you can apply different settings to different
messages/domains/users/senders etc..
