Hypermail could not read windows formatted header and footer file

Hello,
     We are using Hypermail 2b30 on Windows NT and I faced this problem.

Hypermail was not including my header and footer files. After
debugging for some time, I noticed that the the 'getfilecontents'
function
in file.c was failing. When further investigated, I found that beacause
of
the windows format of the header and footer files, this function was
failing.

    Hence, as a stop gap arrangement, I wrote a small C utility to
convert
(to remove the '\n' characters) the files into unix format. Then they
started working fine.

  Now my question is

1) Is it a known bug?
2) If not how should we fix it?

regards

Hari Prasad
