followup:  so, after much digging around, i am now fairly certain i know
how to fix this, but i would like someone more knowledgeable than i to
confirm this if possible.

i believe that the crlf characters are being added by sendmail upon
receipt of an email message.  furthermore, it seems like i can change
the default behavior by adding the "Linelim" field to the propper mailer
definition (pop.m4).  if this is true, and i make the change detailed
below, do i need to restart sendmail?  also, will the cobalt gui
overwrite any changes i make to the pop.m4 file?

so my proposed fix is to apend "L=2040" to the "pop.m4" mailer
definition file (i.e., "/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/mailer/pop.m4").  

thus the line:

Mpop,		P=POP_MAILER_PATH, F=CONCAT(`lsDFMq', POP_MAILER_FLAGS), S=10,
R=20/40, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
		A=POP_MAILER_ARGS

would become:

Mpop,		P=POP_MAILER_PATH, F=CONCAT(`lsDFMq', POP_MAILER_FLAGS), S=10,
R=20/40, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
		A=POP_MAILER_ARGS, L=2040

does this seem like the right thing to do?

thanks for the help,

mikey.
