Which is just another way of saying that, for the purposes of RFC 2821,
email messages MUST end in CRLF. Or, alterantively, there is no way to
transport a message without that CRLF through SMTP.
Not also that our draft REQUIRES an article to end in CRLF. I think this
discussion has demonstrated that that requirement should remain.
