I am currently using this lib to create a script to help moderators 
of newsgroups wich works on macintoshes. In the docs it says:
<quote>
Input lines as read from the file may either be terminated by CR-LF 
or by a single linefeed; a terminating CR-LF is replaced by a single 
linefeed before the line is stored.
</quote>

I uses the simple script:

	try:
		f = open(file, 'r')
	except IOError, msg:
		print file, ': can\'t open :', msg
		return 0
	m = rfc822.Message(f, 1)

With a Mac file it works. With a dos file, it does not recognise the 
header. You can easily see it by browsing the 'm' object under 
debugger.
