Feature wish: replace CR with LF

Feature wish: replace CR with LF

[Kai Grossjohann]

Some messages have broken Macintosh newlines (i.e. ^M).  WIBNI there
was a function similar to article-remove-cr which replaced ^M with ^J
instead of deleting them?

I agree.  CR should be deleted only if it is followed by LF;
otherwise, it should be turned into LF itself.  The conversion
algorithm is still relatively simple:

Step 1: CRLF -> LF
Step 2: CR   -> LF
