It's the "right" way to do it. Moreover, it is now the _only_ "right"
way to do it. As detailed in RFC 2821 section 2.3.7:

  http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html

"Lines consist of zero or more data characters terminated by the
sequence ASCII character "CR" (hex value 0D) followed immediately
by ASCII character "LF" (hex value 0A). This termination sequence
is denoted as <CRLF> in this document. Conforming implementations
MUST NOT recognize or generate any other character or character
sequence as a line terminator."

It would probably be helpful to know the OS and MTA software
(with versions) of people who are seeing this problem.

Cheers, Phil.
