Lines have to be terminated with CRLF if a message is transmitted via SMTP (see RFC 5321 section 2.3.8.). As far as I know this only applies when the message is transferred. It does not apply to the message itself, e.g. when it is stored on disk. So QuotedPrintableInputStream should probably accept other line endings I guess. Other opinions? Markus
