You're right.  Adding the return character is a problem with my email client.

On OS 9.1, here is the real data:

directory Callisto:
files -l 'Icon'n''
Name                             Type Crtr  Size      Flags         Last-Mod-Date       Creation-Date
-------------------------------  ---- ---- ------ ------------- ------------------- -------------------
'Icon'n''                       icon MACS     4K aVbstclInmwod    12/2/02    19:49     5/6/01    15:11

That n refers to an escaped ASCII RETURN character in MPW. Its content in the resource fork is a single "icns" resource.
