Note: If the original form was an ASCII CR-LF document, they might not necessarily have been translated to CR+CR+LF by the MUA, especially when on MS-DOS or similar systems… but for debbugs we mostly talk about diffs and intended-for-humans text messages so I think that loss would be acceptable. (Even when diffing a CR-LF file, the patch headers are LF-terminated.) Did anyone ever do a survey which MTAs encode a mixed line-ending how? Example: printf 'Line with LF\nLine with CR-LF\r\nAnd LF again.\n' >test.txt bye, //mirabilos -- <hecker> cool ein Ada Lovelace Google-Doodle. aber zum 197. Geburtstag?
