Hotmail. Try it
I'm lazy. I just copy the ^M and then uses M-x replace-regexp. I
paste (yank) the ^M into the command, hit <return> twice and let
it rip. All gone faster than you can read this.
Once upon a time I made a macro that did this, but I rarely get
Microsoft files anymore. (I use Linux.) They may have started out
as Microsoft, but e-mail programs seem to convert them better now.
