Once I've got simular problem with opaque signed message (DER format)
which was attached to the E-Mail and used Quoted-Printable transfer
encoding. Thus all end-of-lines inside message data was converted from
CRLF to LF by some intermediate mail server. 

So, investigating transport envelope of problematic messages can be
helpful.
