You could do what we did at Ferranti before I managed to get smail up on
our ancient Xenix System III/286 boxes. The following script approximates
it. Test it before giving it live data, this is purely off the top of my
head:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/bin
mv rmail rmail.real
cat > rmail << \!
#!/bin/sh
exec rmail.real `echo $* | sed 's/ddmi[^!]*!//g'`
!
chmod +x rmail
