dovecot - Oct 2012 - maildir and end-of-line encoding

Hi.

I just wondered, the following:

My MDA may get mails that use LF or CR/LF end of line encodings and
deliver them into maildirs.


I couldn't find any information about, whether one should or must
convert all into one format, cause AFAIK at least on the IMAP side,
CR/LF is always used?


How does this work on the maildir/backend side of dovcot? Can it work
with both and simply automatically convert LF into CR/LF?


Thanks,
Chris.

Dovecot automatically adds CRs where necessary. Even within the same file there
can be mixed LF/CRLF lines.
