I came to the same conclusion. This is hidden because most people post 
patches as "application/octet-stream", where no meddling is allowed. I'll 
try to do that in the future.

I'm not sure that the webserver is at fault either: it sends "CRLF" on 
"text/plain", which seems okay, even required, by MIME. Maybe the web 
user agent should do the translating if appropriate to the receiving 
system... Obviously "curl" does not do it, nor "firefox" on "save as".

I have no doubt that some MUA around would forget to do the conversion.
