[S-mailx] text file attachments

[Stephen Isard]

If I send myself a linux style text file abc.txt, with just \n line 
separators, and then I detach abc.txt from the message using the command

w /dev/null
which writes separate files for the body and attachments, the lines in 
the newly detached version of abc.txt are separated in Microsoft style 
with \r\n.  Is there a reason for that and is there some variable I can 
set to prevent it happening?
