Carriage Returns In .txt Attachments Emailed With Outlook.

[DanDog]

When I send a .txt attachment with carriage returns in the body of the text,
with Outlook (Office 2003) it is received with placeholders instead of the
actual carriage returns, and the text is all strung together in one
continuous block. Is there any way of ensuring that the WYSIWYG prior to
emailing the message is identical to the WYSIWYG on the receiving end? I
can't seem to find an option in "Tools" to "shut off" this
compression/encoding(?). I could always zip the file, but that would add a
greater complexity to the entire process which I would rather not force on
the person on the receiving end.
