In a serious case of craniorectal immersion, the Thunderbird developers
have started using \r\n line endings on saved emails:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503271
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507530

It would be nice if git-am could handle this case automatically.

Perhaps

    $ dos2unix *.eml | git am

I didn't try it, but would "git am" with "apply.whitespace" and 
"core.whitespace" set in some reasonable manner help? Not "automatic", but 
may help if dos2unix isn't available for some reason.

It works, but it's extremely noisy.
