Perhaps the marc archive is the only eol echo service we can find? curl 'http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=kernelnewbies&m=106263064208076&q=raw' fetches a version of a post of mine, a version in which '\n' '\t' '=' etc. remain intact. In my view here now of this mail before I send it, the eol's of the next paragraph are the cr lf of Dos rather than the lf of Unix: eol was cr lf eol was cr lf eol was cr lf I'm curious to see if the marc archive preserves these eol's. If these cr lf survive, then I think we can guess that whenever we see eol = lf in the curl of the raw archive at marc, we have signalled eol = lf with enough strength to pass the linux-kernel test.
