I've took some time to investigate the situation and I have to say that
I can't reproduce your effect. I created an appropriate testfile from
your template and regardless of having the file on a textmode mount or
a binmode mount, regardless of the shell in which I call `ssmtp -t < file'
and regardless if the file has LF or CRLF lineendings, ssmpt always got
that right. Especially I found that ssmtp already opens the file in
textmode (yeah, I didn't remember) so the problem you found is even more
weird. Which means, I'll not change anything unless somebody (you?) can
explain what *exactly* goes wrong.
