Nowadays, typical e-mail messages can be thought of as a series of

@subsection Some plain-text attachments get corrupted, how can I avoid that?

@t{mu4e} (or, more precisely, its Gnus helpers) automatically convert CR-LF

(``Windows-style'') line-endings to Unix line endings for the text attachments.

|

That is usually convenient, but can be problematic when attachments are

mislabeled as text when they contain binary data: in that case, the conversion

would result in invalid data.
