The original author of the doc strings seems to have been either
Andrew Bennetts or Brian Warner. Perhaps one of them can shed some
light on the reasoning behind the original phrasing.
The wording indicated to me that the platform's native newline
convention should be used, e.g., \r\n on Windows, \r on MacOS (pre-X),
and \n on POSIX. Twisted's SMTP code only expects and only handles
correctly \n.
