I won't step inside the discussion on a very loosely defined terms.

The essense:
------
Right now \r\n\r\n is hardcoded as EOL. This allows for very efficient
line reading.
Reading ahead to know the used EOL kills any attempts to pipe
reformail and external helpers.
That is why I do care of a cmdline switch, which amends the problem
w/o breaking anything.
