When you open a large plain text message in Microsoft
Outlook, it may take a very long time to open and Outlook may appear to stop
responding (hang), and your CPU utilization may go to 100 percent.

Starting with Outlook 2002, extra line breaks are
automatically removed in messages. Sometimes plain text messages that travel
over the Internet acquire extra line breaks that make the message difficult to
read. Outlook automatically removes the extra line breaks so that it is easier
to read the message.
