The problem we looked at a few weeks ago was that WinZip transforms line
endings in text files, unless you disable that (it's a well-hidden WinZip
option).

CVS also transforms text-file line endings, which is something we did not
look at before, but which should have been obvious at the time.  I'm sure
it's the same problem.  It was hidden because regrtest.py didn't actually
run the email tests until Guido fixed that this morning.  Now test_email on
Windows fails no matter how it's run.

Since Guido fixed regrtest-vs-test_email this morning, yes.

You already know what the problem is, so no need.
