Are you talking about this attachment in the gzipped email content:

  ---1609908220-525021627-1633684545=:5930
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name=status
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
  Content-Description: test
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=status

  ...
  NTgzMS5odG1sDQo=

  ---1609908220-525021627-1633684545=:5930--

I manually extracted the BASE64 content, it does have the 
CRLF line endings...
