Can you please get your mailer to send mails with Linefeeds in as well as
just carriage returns in the body. Your mails are extremly difficult to read
here (all on one line with ^M appearing every so often).

RFC 2822 - Internet Message Format (of emails)

2.3 Body

  The body of a message is simply lines of US-ASCII characters.  The
  only two limitations on the body are as follows:
      
     - CR and LF MUST only occur together as CRLF; they MUST NOT appear
       independently in the body.
       
    <snip stuff about line lengths>   

I thought only BBC micros and macs had text files with carriage-return only,
and I can't recall seeing such sent as an email body before. You appear to
be using a web-mail service 'Sina Web Mail' - it seems to be horribly
broken. I suggest asking them to fix this, or using some other mailer or
webmail service that sends valid mails. I won't be able to help you if I
can't read your mail (although it would appear that others can, despite the
brokenness, so you did get some help).
