I see... hmm that seems to be missing from the documentation?! Can it be
added? What values can it have?

What exactly happens there? Any LF or CRLF converted to the value set?
or does it also handle single CRs (and therefore also LFCRs)?


Are there other such options which control what of a mail / how they are
stored into maildirs? I mean regarding the content of the mails?
I'm aware of the one that controls how subfolders are made in maildirs
(LAYOUT=fs)... but anything else?

Perhaps you should add handling single CRs (to CRLF or LF depending on
mail_save_crlf) as well.

I'll try to debug that further.



Thx,
