'chomp' is what we used before, but with *.eml files (microsoft's file 
format, with CRLF), '\n' were removed but '\r' remained, that's why we 
used s/\r\n|\r|\n//.

s/\r?\n$// looks fine.

Email::Simple library uses qr/\x0a\x0d|\x0d\x0a|\x0a|\x0d/ [1]. Should 
we handle \n\r at end of line as well?
