possible bug? or feature? with slurping DOS files under Unix

[Ted Zlatanov <tzz@northernlight.com>]

I hesitate to post this as a bug, because it's definitely not
something you'd expect to see.  Still, I almost lost mail because of
it.

For some reason, my fetchmail started writing messages in DOS format,
with the extra ^M at the end of the file.  Gnus fetched that mail and
added "Lines: 0" and a X-Ref header at the end of the message, and
didn't show the message body itself when I selected it.

I panicked, of course, and got Gnus from CVS, but that didn't fix
anything (at this point, I just saw empty messages with ^M at the
end of every header line).  I eventually figured the problem out and
restarted fetchmail, when I hit 't' and saw the message body in
between the headers.

If this is a feature, it should be documented.  If this is a bug, I
hope it's fixed so others don't have the same fun I did :)

Thanks
Ted
