Re: Disappearing CRs



Tim, I have noticed the same problem when dealing with Outlook
recipients.  Unfortunately, it means that my emails are often hard to
read for those people.  I too think its an Outlook problem, but at the
same time, since I can't fix Outlook, I wonder if there's anything can
do in Mutt to make Outlook not do whatever its doing with the email.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to handle this problem?

Thanks -
Chip
