Details
When I try to send a DOS text file, which uses "\r\n" as the newline, Mozilla
converts the file to a Unix text file, which uses only "\n" as the newline. The
recipient gets the converted file, and if I read the attachment from the "Sent"
folder from the message, I also see it is converted. Is there some option that
controls this behavior ?

This is usuallly because CR+LF/LF/CR is removed by OS when "line mode" file read
and LF is added by OS when "line mode" file write, although I can not say exact
process of Mozilla/Thunderbird.
Easiest workaround is usually to send the text file in format of
zip/tar.gz/sit/lha etc.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
