fix: strip carriage returns and newlines from base64 attachment data
Fixes #494 - Windows attachment corruption bug ## Root Cause Windows text-mode HTTP response processing converts embedded LF to CRLF in base64 strings, resulting in double carriage returns (0d0d0a) in the decoded binary output. Python's base64.urlsafe_b64decode() is strict and passes this corrupted input through. Node.js implementations silently strip the corruption. ## Solution Strip CR and LF from the base64 string before decoding. Per RFC 4648 Section 3.1, base64 decoders should ignore embedded whitespace. ## Impact - Fixes PNG/PDF corruption on Windows for large attachments (>10KB) - No impact on Unix/Linux/Mac - Safe across all platforms - Small attachments unaffected (no embedded line breaks in base64) ## Testing Comprehensive unit tests included covering Unix LF, Windows CRLF, corrupted double-CR, and large PDF-like base64 strings.
