I'm becoming convinced that I should leave the lone CRs in... Here's another question: What do we do about lone LF's? The problem here is that on UNIX, a lone LF looks just like a line termination. On a Mac, it looks like an embedded LF, and on Windows, I have no idea. So once again, the UNIX-based software might interpret the message differently from Windows- or Mac-based software. What I propose doing is releasing a beta version of MIMEDefang that has a command-line option not to suppress lone CR's or LF's (though I'm rapidly running out of letters! :-)) Existing behaviour of stripping CR's will continue by default. After enough people have tested that not stripping them doesn't blow things up, I will probably make it so we keep lone CR's and LF's intact.
