It would be very helpful if there was a setting for Mail::DKIM to enable it to deal with more liberal line terminations in the email to process and automatically convert them to the CR/LF it expects. I process incoming emails from users through a custom list server (I do not control the incoming emails), and the incoming emails are not always that consistent with line terminations. In some cases, I have even seen a mix of line terminations in the same email. I have code I created in place to do the conversion needed to make the emails work for Mail::DKIM, but I think it would be a reasonable improvement to add a option setting to the module for more liberal line terminations. Just for your awareness, this is not just me that has gotten tripped up on this in the past. The Mail::DKIM line termination consideration has even been mentioned on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3140396/dkim-wrong-body-hash-using-perl-cpan-maildkimsigner (see the bottom of the thread) -- *Steve James* PE, CPE, PMP, Six Sigma Blackbelt *Cell:* 818-570-1197 *Email:* 4stevejames@gmail.com *Linkedin: **http://www.linkedin.com/in/sejames* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sejames>
