I see Stephen who wrote the original "Thunderbird save-as" is
already on the Cc list.  How about doing it this way instead?

It was so long ago I can't even remember writing that patch. But I
googled the thread from 4.5 years ago and I see that you suggested we
use tr because \r is not portable[1].

Hmph.  That's unfortunate that this may be one of those things that
even though it is in POSIX the real world prevents us from using it.

I wonder if things changed over the past four years, though.  Can
folks on OSX or BSD do a quick check?

Thanks.
