^M after message headers



Hi,

I'm using RH8.0, Fetchmail 5.9.0, and Procmail 3.22 with Mutt 1.4.1i 
which I built myself---here's the output of ``mutt -v'':

The problem is that on all messages I receive, I get a ``^M'' (C-m, 
Ctrl-M) after each header.  Eg:

From: Majordomo@xxxxxxxx^M

and so on.  Is it that Procmail isn't doing something that it should 
(I'm not using Formail here---should I?), or is there another reason for 
this?

A quick check of the archives (Google makes it hard to look for the 
``^'' character) turns up someone saying that the ISP is mangling my 
email.  But then if this is so, why isn't Mail (the standard 
``/bin/mail'') showing these ``^M''s?  I've looked at my mailboxes using 
Mail and it shows no ``^M''s.  Mutt is the only program that's doing 
this.

Can anybody point out what I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Yawar Amin
