Jim may be the only one using MailSmith. The messages that get messed up are the ones that have been base64 encoded. Messages that don't contain any characters outside the 0-127 ascii range aren't encoded, so they don't get messed up. MailSmith uses crlf as a line ending when it is sending text that hasn't been encoded. When it has been encoded, it puts crlf between the lines of base64 text. What it does not do is put crlf between the lines of the original text, before it is encoded. It just uses line feed there.

Entourage may be the only program that doesn't accept a line feed by itself as a line ending.
