Hello,

Too bad.

Well, as I explained in my first email, there are different virus
scanners and spamfilters that just don't work with solely LF-sequences.
There isn't only ClamAV and SpamAssasin which maybe work fine with LFs
(I haven't used them so far). So when the first task of someone using
these scanners is to write their own function to map LF back to CRLF,
why shouldn't exim include this so integrators can concentrate on more
important parts?
