The raw source will be whatever is archived last. If the last copy to be archived has adjusted newline at the end, then that's what the mbox source will then have. If both have the redundant generator enabled, they will provide the same ID for the email (regardless of any whitespace added), which is what we first and foremost want here. Excess whitespace should really not cause duplicates here, there is no sense in doing so for anyones sake.
