The problem there is that RFC822 defines the body as
"The body is simply a sequence of lines containing ASCII charac-
ters."
where it defines the structure of header fields.
"Once a field has been unfolded, it may be viewed as being com-
posed of a field-name followed by a colon (":"), followed by a
field-body, and terminated by a carriage-return/line-feed."
So to fix all the unmatched cr/lf's including the body would not be
right. It may even interfere with the contents of the body if it's
base64 or yenc or some encoded format like that.
