No. Technically the message on the wire contains two delimiter
characters for each line, but there is no constraint on how the lines
are stored, per 1.1. Scope in RFC 5322
This specification is intended as a definition of what message
content format is to be passed between systems. Though some
message systems locally store messages in this format (which
eliminates the need for translation between formats) and others
use formats that differ from the one specified in this
specification, local storage is outside of the scope of this
specification.
