I admit, I'm a Cyrus-IMAPd user too.

Please, can someone advise me where it is preferable to *not* accept
both LF and CRLF? And converting CRLF to CRCRLF in output?

What I would expect is
LF in => CRLF out
CRLF in => CRLF out
CR in => CRLF out
and I don't care about the internal format. To make the purists happy, how
about adding a CR only when it is not already present?

Coming from Mac OS I could *never* understand why any text editor cared for
line endings. I do not feel that a file from an foreign OS does break the
conventions of my world.

Ok, just my 5 cents - no offense intended
