No.
o CR and LF MUST only occur together as CRLF; they MUST NOT appear
independently in the body.
I guess you refer to some local storage format
(which is not part of the RFC AFAICT)?

What exactly is the "body" for you?
Everything after the "header"?
The RFC specifies that header and body are separated by one
empty line - does your "sole 0x0a" refer to that line?
2.1
A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
section of the message") followed, optionally, by a body.
So the body can even be omitted.
[now the interesting question is: if the body is missing,
must there be an empty line after the headers?]
