As I said, it's the client.

AFAIK, newlines in UTF8 are the same as newlines in ASCII, no? One way 
or another, it's a non-issue. If a newline existed as part of a UTF8 
character, it would not be converted. The specific case you are 
referring to is \r\n, which will never happen in a UTF8 character. If it 
happens at the end of a line, it will be appropriately stripped.
