I'd be happy to try this out.  I don't know that it's solely a Mozilla 
issue in my case, though, because IIRC I had the same problem when I 
sent files to Carl using Mutt.  Something about my ISP maybe.  The only 
way I could get files sent properly, preserving the unix endings was to 
use a web-based email interface, which I hate to do.  I'll do it if 
that's what it takes to preserve the line endings, I just have to 
*remember* to do it because my default action is to send from Thunderbird.
