Text file EOL markers are as follows :
Unix \n (LF)
Windows \r\n (CRLF)
Mac \r (CR)
Vim supports all three formats. I personally have only used vim on
unix and windows to handle unix and windows files on each. Look at
the 'ff' option (:help ff). You should be able to
:set ff=mac
:w
and have a Mac-style text file on-disk. mutt won't (shouldn't; I'd
call it a bug if it did) munge the file on you.
