I'll also toss out that email messages with bare LF aren't mime content
either.
RFC822 requires that email messages be CRLF limited, cf Section 2.3
Body:
The body of a message is simply lines of US-ASCII characters. The
only two limitations on the body are as follows:
- CR and LF MUST only occur together as CRLF; they MUST NOT appear
independently in the body.
- Lines of characters in the body MUST be limited to 998 characters,
and SHOULD be limited to 78 characters, excluding the CRLF.
Note: As was stated earlier, there are other standards documents,
specifically the MIME documents [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2048, RFC2049]
that extend this standard to allow for different sorts of message
bodies. Again, these mechanisms are beyond the scope of this
document.

Yes.

CRLF.
