Actually I think bare LF's are correct, no?

Thunderbird does on occasion do the wrong thing, if it sees 8-bit 
characters (often an   whitespace character, or two spaces at the 
end of a paragraph) it decides to base-64 encode where it doesn't need 
to, I think on this occasion it took objection to Lawrence's fancy 
double quotes around the word 'firewall', unfortunately I've tried 
various character encodings/charsets and nothing prevents the issue.
