Puzzled here. You mention that checksums won't match if LF is
not converted 'back' to CRLF.
But if the message and headers originally had (some) LF-only,
and/or had not already been modified to convert CRLF to LF, then
the checksum should match the message as-is should it not?
- Presuming the checksum had been generated against an
un-altered sample...
