It is most portable to rely on $/ or "\n". "\r" is incorrect in unix.

It is often helpful to bracket variables in interpolating quotes like so:     print ">${unixfrom}\n"; which allows a construction like "\>${unixfrom}foo\n" in concatenation.

It would be good to print a list of arguments instead of constructing a sequence of print statements. 

{
    local $, = "\n";
    print '>' . $unixfrom,
          $return_path[$j],
          $received[$j],
          $date[$j],
          $from[$j],
          $to[$j],
          $subject[$j],
          $message_id[$j],
          $mimeversion[$j],
          $content_type[$j],
          $xstatus[$j],
          $xkeywords[$j],
          $xuid[$j];
}

That will save some unneeded churning around with interpolation. The print function stringifies its arguments by default, so interpolating quotes are unnecessary.
