Emails conform to the MIME specification, but even with the original SMTP RFC the situation was the same: the specification clearly states that line breaks must be represented by a CR LF sequence. This is not platform dependent, email text is not the same as a text file. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2046#section-4.1.1
