SMB has required lines be termined with "\r\n" since it's inception. One recent 
change to this is that so-called "soft carriage-returns" are now encoded as
" \n". This is because Synchronet (as of v3.15) now rd-word-wraps messages when 
displaying via the Terminal Server (e.g. ANSI over Telnet) and we needed a 
distinction between auto-wrapped lines (via an editor's word-wrapping) and a 
so-called "hard CR" (when the author hit ENTER). See docs/WRAP.txt or ask Deuce 
for more details.

The new-line encoding in SMB is not specific to the "current platform" or 
client.
