Actually, I know that it's browser/OS dependent, cuz I had a bunch of
Mac users who sent only \r all the time.
This may be true only of OS 9, and you may not care about them
anymore, but there it is.
I also would not be so quick to claim that Linux sends \r\n -- It
could be dependent on the browser, the OS version, the OS distro, some
OS settings, ...
Better safe than sorry, and I *know* I ran into this with some Mac users.
Plus I hate trying to edit the text chunks in vi with those icky \r
thingies that turn into ^M :-)
