> Line endings in what? the actual template / code?

In this case, I'm referring to line endings contained in values 
related to submitted form elements. In a textarea form element, 
for instance, I could type the following:

Now is the time
for all good ...

When the form is submitted, the value for this form element 
would contain a line ending character(s) after the word 'time'.

When you say forms are not posting correctly, what exactly is 
the problem you're seeing?

One diiference in the way form data is posted from a Mac is how 
line endings might be sent. On a PC line endings are usually 
sent as two characters: CR + LF (carriage return + line feed/new 
line), on a *NIX box lines usually end with just a new line 
character and on Macs lines traditionally have ended with just a 
carriage return character. This may be different on newer Macs 
whose operating systems are UNIX based but I'm not sure about 
that. 

This could have an impact if the code in the form's target is 
attempting to parse line endings for some reason.

However, since you don't describe exactly what problem you're 
encountering, this may or may not be relevant.
