I am trying to save attachment(s) from mail read with net/imap.
Attachment is a tif file.
att = imap.fetch(msgID, "BODY[2]")[0].attr["BODY[2]"].unpack('m')
File.new('att.tif','w+').write(att)
I tried it on linux and it works withouth glitch, but on windows every
LF (x0A) character is replaced with CRLF sequence. Needless to say file
is unreadable.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thank you

Try File.new('att.tif','wb+').write(att). From memory, the 'b' in 'wb+' turns off newline conversion.

Yep. From the PickAxe :
Mode Meaning
r Read-only, starts at beginning of file (default mode).
r+ Read/write, starts at beginning of file.
w Write-only, truncates an existing file to zero length or creates
a new file for writing.
w+ Read/write, truncates existing file to zero length or creates a
new file for reading and writing.
a Write-only, starts at end of file if file exists ; otherwise
creates a new file for writing.
a+ Read/write, starts at end of file if file exists ; otherwise
creates a new file for reading and writing.
b (DOS/Windows only) Binary file mode (may appear with any of the
key letters listed above).
I'd add that b has no effect whatsoever on other OSes. (In other words,
you may leave "wb+" and stay platform independent.)

I won't bother trying to set anyone straight as to my rather complex
feelings about Microsoft, but I must admit that I do hate Windows
because it has so shamefully lowered our expectations of what quality
software should be. (Nicholas Petreley in Infoworld)
That's what I would do for binary files. It also helps documenting.
Kind regards
