Mutt shouldn't go converting what you tell it to feed the MTA (mutt
trusts the user not to tell it to do something silly). Unfortunately,
email is NOT a reliable file transfer mechanism, especially if you're
looking to preserve something like line endings.
The best way to send a DOS file, if it needs to *stay* a DOS file, is
to compress it (e.g. to zip it) and send the compressed form. When it
is decompressed, it will return to its original DOS form.
