Basically the provider is ignoring the CRLF to LF normalization
results and loading the original file again.
This doesn't have any impact normally, because all moodle
files are LF ones and people using other systems have their
git configurations set to work that way (not modify or force LF).
But there may be checkouts out there (for example travis) where
the git configuration by defult is to convert to the OS, causing
windows runs to fail badly there. See the issue for more info
and links.
Too many lines were being removed for GMail senders. The function was
also removed because it is no longer used, and guessing the client
and cutting accordingly is a poor approach and will probably lead
to issues similar to this one.
