I'm using 3.23.49 on Windoze 98. I'm trying to execute this:

mysqlc> load data local infile "c:/temp/e-headhunters.txt"
        -> into table headhunters
        -> lines terminated by '\r\n'
        -> (email);

Table headhunters contains several fields, including
 'email varchar(40)'.

The input file is text, with lines terminated by x'0d0a', confirmed
with a hex editor. It contains simple strings:

ilsglobe.com
baxley.com
ComputerJobs.com
coloradojobs.com
dice.com

MySQL inputs one record into the table, consisting of the 
first two lines above, concatenated with a newline, into 
the email field. I.e., the sole resulting record consists of one
string, "ilsglobe.com<nl>baxley.com" in the email field. (It's 
possible that the embedded newline is <cr><nl>.) There are 
(untrappable) warnings issued for the rest.

I've tried every combination of LINES TERMINATED BY, FIELDS TERMINATED
BY, and FIELDS ENCLOSED BY that I can think of, and nothing works.

I'm new at this so I'm probably doing something wrong.

Any help, please.
