Correct. I ran into a problem with a mail server being maintained by a
system admin at a sister company. Under certain conditions, his qmail server
would strip CR/LFs into bare LFs. At which point, qmail would then reject
the mail because it contained bare LFs, when in fact, bare LFs are legal in
the body of the message, just not in the headers. As a workaround, you have
to start qmail with a switch that tells it to accept messages with bare LFs.
Of course, that was almost a year ago now. :)

Evil, considering that's illegal under every RFC I've read. :)
