Why is "backslash n" replaced in outgoing mail? [message #158952]

I've noticed that when a post contains the two characters "backslash n" (i.e., '\n'), FUDforum replaces them with a single newline (i.e., "\n") in mail notifications. I tracked this down to line 78 of src/iemail.inc.t:

$body = str_replace(array('\n',"\r"), array("\n",""), $body);

If I change this to:

$body = str_replace("\r", "", $body);

The problem goes away. But why was the code there? Is it OK to change it or will that cause another problem?

I can't see any reason to suppress the "backslash n" character sequence; in fact, the current behaviour is very annoying when posting code snippets (e.g., I suspect the code above with its sequence of backslash n's will appear corrupted in email).
