Do these messages show an Infobar with the info that Outlook removed
additional line breaks?
If you were to toggle that option before saving; does it work correctly
then?

You can disable this feature completely via;
Tools- Options...- button E-mail Options...- option: Remove extra line
breaks in plain text messages

Good day,

we receive reports from our database system in landscape plain text
format which are then saved to disk and further processed with systems
such as MS Excel or Access.

Problem is, that since Outlook 2007 these e-mails get re-formatted by
Outlook (adding line breaks according to the display on the screen)
causing all Excel / Access routines to break. In Outlook 2003 this did
not happen.

Is there a way to prevent this and save the .txt e-mail as it comes
from the server?

Thanks n brgds
