On my computer, it's CrLfFileStream that changes the line endings, and
not any mail programs.  In fact, blindly compressing files on my disk
will faithfully *preserve* the LF's.  :)

I actually like it this way, but it can certainly lead to trouble for
others.  We just have to be careful.  (Or, we all have to use
CrLfFileStream, but that doesn't seem to be happening.)
