This is a well-known bug that should be in the FAQ by now (especially because
it comes up every few weeks!)  I believe the current work-around is to use 
CTRL-J rather than enter at the end of the user input...

Would you please stop this ?
Please reconfigure your MUA, so that it does not send mails additionally
in HTML format.

Thx and bye.
Michael.

If you have WinNT:

Make sure you have the Sergey's latest coolview update and the
bash.exe.gz.  Make sure that you `set CYGWIN32=tty %CYGWIN32%' before
starting bash.  This will fix the problem.

I don't know about Win95.  I can only try that from home and it will
be a while before I can get to it.
