Hrm, I thought Exim only accepted LF as equivalent if this was seen in the
first header lines, looks like I'm remembering the pre-2003 behaviour.
I suspect that the most interoperable approach is going to be to check up until
we reach the second non-header line; if only CRLF has been observed until this
point, then require CRLF going forward. If a mix has been observed, any
problems are generated entirely by the sending MTA/MUA and its their fault if
they didn't check an attachment for compatibility with the broken way they're
sending mail.
I say second non-header line, in case something is correctly composing the
headers and then doing something different for the body; with libraries for
generating email, this is very possible.
It *might* be worth having an ACL control option to affect this, such as
strict_crlf_lines.
Thoughts, folks?
