There is no information in the mail message about whether the original text files used DOS CRLF. Hence the MUA cannot know that you don't want it convert back into the local representation. The common work-around is to compress such files, so they become binaries which are not altered after decoding. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
