This time, I used a webmailer because in the office we were waiting
for the helpdesk to restart the servers and anything else was better
than idling. I agree, there was no real necessity to not wait for Mutt
this time. As far as the CTRL-Ms are concerned...

Now that I read my post in a real mailer, I'm both dismayed and sorry
for sending all those characters here. Seriously. It does offend the
eye. I can only say that the webmailer had *never* shown before *this*
particular abomination. I didn't change anything on my office PC, so
they (the ISP) must have changed something very recently in their
setup. I'll make my best to use it even less now.
Curiosity (answer off list, of course): does my original message looks
so messed up to all of you? If not, can you tell me why? Thanks.

I agree on both points above. If anybody knows good webmailers, please
tell me privately, and I'll just post the result here, if any. FWIW, I
asked it here anyway because this is (again, seriously, no pun
intended, I swear) one of the best places to find people able to tell
what is good or wrong in any kind of MUA. Isn't it?
