Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.15
Severity: wishlist
Some domains seem to manage to send e-mail where every linebreak is a
\r\n. I'm not sure why they do this. The only one I've encountered
with great regularity is DOLBY.COM, though there was one other I got
last week that I seem to've misplaced, but it caused me to put this
on my queue. They only seem to arrive in quoted-printable...
Anyhow, mutt's pager displays these messages with a ^M at the end of
each line, which really looks awkward and hard to read, e.g.:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur adipisicing elit, sed do^M
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad^M
minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip^M
ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in^M
voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur^M
sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia^M
(Okay, it's worse when you're actually reading the language across
the line break.)
Attached is a patch such that mutt throws away ^Ms unless OPTWEED is
set, so that if you turn on full headers ('h'), these ^Ms are
displayed. If you'd prefer to handle it a different way, let me know
and I will re-spin the patch.
Previously, mutt unconditionally escaped all \r chars as "^M".
I realize this is the sender's fault, but I don't think I should have
to put up with it. (I could fix this with a display_filter,
but then it would be harder to toggle, I'd pay a fork penalty,
and other mutt users wouldn't get the benefit).
(I realize the patch uses a goto -- I do think it's clearer to add an
elsif stanza for the \r case and use a goto to the control-character
label, rather either duplicating the control-char printing code in \r
stanza, or adding
|| wc=='\r' && !option(OPTWEED)
to the control characer case (line 1184, wc < 0x20...).
If you'd prefer a goto-less version, I can do that too...)

Thanks.

Comment(by pdmef):
Can you please include one or more content line? Only the headers is not
enough. I suspect lines ending in "=0D". Also, you can use:
{{{
set display_filter="sed 's/^M$//'"
}}}
in .muttrc (a real Ctrl+M for {{{^M}}}, not {{{^}}} followed by {{{M}}})
to specify a filter stripping these CRLF sequences for display.
