Copy text from Google groups postings; CRs, LFs are lost (Firefox 0.9.3)

Hello --

When I paste highlighted/copied messages found in Google Groups searches
into a text file, the Carriage Return and Line Feed characters are lost, so
the message gets pasted as one long stream of text.

This does not happen in IE 6 or NS 7.1.

Can anyone tell me if there is a setting to change in FF 0.9.3 to correct
this problem?

Thanks for any help.

I tried a sample in IE, NS, and FF into Wordpad, and all came as ok.

Sometimes narrow columns do paste wider. Never bothered me, but
whatever.

Give me a specific examle to try?

Tried this in 3 browsers, and it looked ok. Can you provide specific
example?

P,S. Please munge your address otherwise. Yours leaves valid domain
cyvest to get all your spam. Munge the domain, instead. invalid.com is
the ultimate standard. If you want me, e.g, to be able to decipher,
munge it so I can. I'd avoid "nospamcyvest.com"...they must have found
this trick I use "scratchthis" or similar somewhere after the @.

Thanks for the suggestion re: munging my address.

Do you mean something before the @, as in yours, like

?

I tried a couple of pastes and now it works OK. I will write back if
problem recurs, and provide example.
