I think you meant "encoding"? Anyway, if I understand it 
correctly, an email message should always end with a newline, but 
it is not necessarily a hard newline. For example, 'message.el' 
inserts a normal newline:

 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus/message.el#n4944

I am not sure what other MUAs do, though.

Will do. Thanks!
