Text file EOL markers are as follows : Unix \n (LF) Windows \r\n (CRLF) Mac \r (CR) Vim supports all three formats. I personally have only used vim on unix and windows to handle unix and windows files on each. Look at the 'ff' option (:help ff). You should be able to :set ff=mac :w and have a Mac-style text file on-disk. mutt won't (shouldn't; I'd call it a bug if it did) munge the file on you.
