Hi Alpine Experts —
Something I've noticed for the past year or two is that mails sent to me by Discourse forums end up looking "double-spaced" in alpine, which makes them slightly excruciating to read, particularly when code is involved. While looking into why this might be yesterday, I believe I've determined that they are being formatted with (DOS-style?) CR+LF as the EOL terminator rather than just LF, and I'm guessing that alpine renders this combination as two newlines rather than one?
I've started a line of inquiry as to whether Discourse can be reconfigured to just format the text version of the mail with LF, but in the meantime wanted to also see whether there's any way to request alpine to format the text version of en email such that carriage returns don't get their own linefeed (or so that CR+LF only results in a single linefeed). Any tips? I didn't see anything in the config menu that looked right.
Thanks! -BradPS – Ironically, if I point alpine to the html version of the message, it renders much more nicely...but I'd prefer to stick with the text version given the choice...
