Umm well maybe I guess, but I hope you noticed I didn't swear, flame,
kook-call or otherwise exceed the WHO-specified maximum levels of sarcasm
permitted in the environment! :)

It's a shame actually, because the two standard solutions offered to these
problems (1: use a free webmail a/c for list posts, 2: use oe-quotefix) are
actually incompatible with each other. I don't know a sensible way round
this. Sometimes I've used OE quote-fix at work, but sent the posts out to
my free webmail a/c and then fw'd them to the list from there. That's a lot
of work.

I just really, really, *really* don't think that _anything_ is going to work
around the issue that if you strip all the newlines from a CRLF terminated
file[+], what you end up with is something that won't be any good for either
'doze ~OR~ *nix!
Apart from maybe _not_ stripping all the newlines, perhaps?
The best workaround would be to get an Amiga or Mac... they're the only
systems that use CR lineends!

[+] or even an LF terminated file, for that matter.
