I understand you mean that if bogofilter sees that input format is
UNIX, it will use UNIX as output and if it sees that input format is
DOS, will use DOS.

Nevertheless, I am piping to bogofilter a single message in UNIX
format and output is DOS format.

Maybe this is a problem with files opened as [1]O_BINARY, where text
mode should be being used instead.
