Message #01043
Re: [Question #171058]: msdos CR stored in sent-mail
You haven't mentioned which operating system you are running.
Recall that mail sending is done by Emacs mail-mode, not VM. Handling FCC's
is also part of mail-mode. The file appending needed for FCC is handled by
Emacs core. So, you will need to look at those.
I believe Emacs guesses the line ending style by looking at the contents of
the file. So, you will need to first clean the file of ^M's to get Emacs to
guess right. Look for programs called "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" which do
such cleaning.
For my own use, I couldn't find anyway to get Emacs and mail-mode to use
Unix line endings for FCC on Win32. So, I maintain two sent-mail folders,
one for use Unix and one for Win32.
