My understanding is that the MIME RFCs specify a canonical encoding of
a "blank line" or separator of <cr><lf>. The obvious use of this is
to get around differences across operating systems in this regard.
(Think UNIX vs. Microsoft).

So accepting a <lf> as a MIME separator may well get you over the
problem of a broken peer implementation but it will potentially 
cause problems elsewhere. So, as Aarno suggests, if you need
to break MIME functionality, you should have to explicitly turn it
on, in the full knowledge of what you are doing. It should not
go into the code base as a default behaviour.
