You have your choice of two reasonable choices:
LF|CRLF|CR: This works with any OS that purports to save files in ASCII
text.
CRLF: This is what a standard does normally.
I would make the text canonical and always use CRLF. Most
mail applications already have canonical->local line translators in them
to support saving RFC822 text to local files. In the worst case, a Mac
or UNIX editor will just show the extra line end character. The other
way around, you end up with lines all running together.
