Ok, well that means that Zap works differently from many other editors.
It suggests it reads the whole file in, doesn't strip anything, and then
(in a text mode) only shows you some of each line (presumably not the LF
or CR or LFCR or CRLF)?
Yes, I would agree with that.
You might still be able to tell it what line-endings to use if you
(re-)save the file.
I'm not quite with you there. Re-save the (greyed out) file from the
Article Viewer? In my experience, Zap only saves/re-saves the file without
adding anything except any edits.
Sorry, I think my suggestion was a brain-fart.
When you previously peeked at these files, you didn't by any chance save
them rather than just close them did you?
Yes, but from Pluto e.g. in Article View menu => Message => Save as.
I think this might be the problem. Bear in mind that a normal RO user hasAgreed.
no idea that the internal format of message files is different from normal
text files. If this "Save as" option generated files that couldn't
sensibly be opened (in eg !Edit) users would have been unhappy.
It's so long since I used Pluto that I can't remember the optionsYes. From Boxes - Article List => Export => Selected Articles. In the Export
elsewhere, but maybe there's a message export (or something) that saves
messages in a form that make sense to Pluto and other email clients?
