take a look at this

You can make your own filter, and plop it right in the code/Filter directory
and restart. This page also has some to give you a start.

I am a beginner, but i think it would be something like:

  sub {
         my $val = shift;
         $val =~ s|\r?\n|%0a|g;
         $val =~ s:":"":g;
         return $val;
  },

or possibly...

  sub {
         my $val = shift;
         $val =~ s/\r?\n/\%0a/g;
         $val =~ s:":"":g;
         return $val;
  },

...untested
