The problem is caused by a specific feature that was added into
SpamAssassin in 3.1.1 -- namely that we'll use the same line endings that the
original message uses (LF vs CRLF).  spamass-milter relied on the previous
behavior (always use LF), which happened to work well with what libmilter
expected.

So in this case, I would expect the spamass-milter code to be modified
to take into account that line endings could either be CRLF (3.1.1 and
beyond) or LF (3.1.0 and previous).

(alternately, libmilter could be modified to handle either LF or CRLF, which
would probably be easier to code, but harder to get that API changed...)
