I agree RFC 5322 lines are CRLF, but RFC 4155's application/mbox are
just LF, and Unix mbox files from Postfix, etc., are just LF. I don't
think the code should allow /\r?\n/ for all inputs, but I don't think
you're saying it does?
Is retrieving POP3 emails the only time we should see the CR and it gets
stripped off before the non-POP3 code sees it? When nmh creates a
message/rfc822 it doesn't tack CRs on so presumably they're not meant to
be there on non-nmh incoming ones?

We don't insist on CRLF when receiving RFC 5322, right.

Agreed.
