About CR/LF conversion

I used readdbx to convert oe mailbox to unix mailbox
to use it with hyermail but it failed.
The problem was that hypermail expected only linefeed
with no carraige return inside the mailbox. I removed
carrige return and it worked.
I don't know if this is really a problem, but I just
reported it.

I think this is an issue with hypermail. The internet standard is to use \r\n which is CRLF. Unfortunately,
this isn't the unix standard! Hypermail might be confused by the mix of CR and CRLF being used in the output
file. the readdbx program doesn't convert the emails, to a standard, but uses the standard itself. I don't
think I will change the program for this reason alone. Sorry I haven't responded before, but this I haven't
checked this section for months.
