We've wasted time playing with a wrapper for the mail command that would

out the "\r" in the alerts but this has, so far, proven fruitless.
Messages

has seen this issue, or has any idea what the best way to handle it might

I warn you this (probably) isn't exactly what you're looking for, but
I've stopped using the SMS email gateways due to reliability issues and
when things are really going bad -- rate limiting. Instead I've moved to
sending my notifications through Pushover.net which sends (fast!!) push
notifications to phones.
You can send messages two ways: their email gateway, or write a
notification script that uses their REST api. It's very simple. I wrote
this in a few minutes and haven't looked back.
