Hi Skeve,

Normally local mail messages are handled with local line endings, and the MTA takes care of line ending conversions if the message is sent ove rSMTP (which is why binary attachments are normally encoded as text. For example, if you send a message with sendmail or Net::SMTP, those programs will handle the line conversions for SMTP.

So, it's not really a bug (or even that surprising) that MIME::Entity generates messages with local line endings, but it would be nice to be able to override it easily.
