I'd like to do the same thing, but the command "dos2unix" is not 
available on my system. Is there a PC version that I can run locally 
before I upload the file? What's it called?

Alternately, is there another command I could use, once the file is on 
the Unix server?

: 4. Using ^R, I read the file into the message portion of letter.

Thanks in advance
