Steps to reproduce:

(for a mail account with message story type = "maildir" (not mbox))

1. drag and drop an .eml file from a file manager into Thunderbird's folder pane
2. navigate the file manager to TB's profile folder\Mail
3. find the newly added .eml file
4. hex-compare the new file *(from step 3)* with the original file *(from step 1)*


Actual results:

The file created in TB's profile folder differs from the original file by an appended CRLF (0D 0A).




Expected results:

No CRLF should be appended.
The file created in TB's profile folder and the original file should be identical.

## reiteration:

Note that a repeat of the steps outlined above (i.e. re-importing the file created in step 3 by dragging/dropping it into TB's folder pane) always appends yet another CRLF, so the file grows bigger in size with each iteration.

## relevance:

Apart from an unnecessary and unintended alteration of the data, it severely complicates deduplication and backup (since the files are not the same anymore).
