In fact, I was thinking of the more general problems when passing files to/from other machines. The \n - \r conversion in our Unix gateway is done automagically (according to whether the file type is TEXT and/or the owner is "unix" and/or the file exists and/or the file has some special finder info and/or ...) so moving binary files around requires some care.
