... so how is the lowly app/post-generating UA to know what to do?
Must they be a full-fledged ps parser? Do we require conversion to a
canonical newline?
If content-transfer-encoding defaults to plain text,
then the composer MUA and it's MTA are obliged to convert >to<
canonical newline, and the receiver/displayer MUA and it's
delivery MTA are obliged to convert >from< canonical newline.
As far as I know, this is already the way things work.
I believe this directly affects interoperability of app/ps
You bet!
