¡Holà! Javier,

I had the same issue. I had to have Mac end of lines inside the files to
further use the rfc822 lib. I came with this quick and dity hack

    temp = f.read()
    f.seek(0)
    crNum = string.count(temp, '\r')
    lfNum = string.count(temp, '\n')
    if lfNum == crNum:  # dos
        f.close()
        os.rename(file, join(doneFolder, split(file)[1][:27]) + '.dos')
        temp = string.replace(temp, '\n\r', '\n')
        f = open(file, 'w')
        f.write(temp)
        f.close()
        f = open(file)
    elif crNum:
        f.close()
        os.rename(file, join(doneFolder, split(file)[1][:27]) + '.uix')
        temp = string.replace(temp, '\r', '\n')
        f = open(file, 'w')
        f.write(temp)
        f.close()
        f = open(file)
