I can confirm this.  Robert's email for some reason transmits the bundle in base64
encoding, and that base64 content when decoded has DOS line endings.

However the mimetype of that content is declared as "text/x-patch", so I guess
the questions here are:

  * are MUAs supposed to convent text/* attachments to native line endings?  It
    appears my mutt does this with Robert's attachment.
  * given that bundles are a "text" format, shouldn't the line endings not break
    the format?
