I've had to deal with this issue when moving such a message between accounts, in my case from a UW-IMAP server using mbx to a Cyrus 2.3 server. While forwarding the message usually works, it's inelegant. Oddly, I've found that simply copying it to temporary folder on the UW-IMAP server before copying it to Cyrus is often all that's needed for the operation to be successful. YMMV.

The warning is: "Message contains bare newlines." It's Cyrus 2.1. I hope somebody can tell me how I can remove the bare newline(s) in the message.

I allready tried a perl-script of Joseph Brennan what I found in this list, but it did not change the message (checked with diff). The script prepares mbox-format mailboxes for mailutil, which complains if there are CR characters (\015) in the mbox-format files. It changes CRLF to LF and then changes remaining CR to LF. Bare LF is normal for unix files. Are you sure it says "bare newlines"? Newline is an ambiguous term.

Fedora Core 3 included a Cyrus version with a nobarenewlines patch.
I've included it here so that the next person who comes by should be
able to use it:

If someone has a more elegant solution, I'm all ears :)
