Rmail-mime does not perform file I/O, but decodes a text
that is already stored in a mbox buffer.  So, we don't have
any information about by what kind of EOL format the decoded
text should be encoded out to a file.  If we leave the EOL
type unspecified, it will be encoded by whatever EOL format
defined for the current system.
