New description:

 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 `^M`s unless OPTWEED is
 set, so that if you turn on full headers ('h'), these `^M`s 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...)
