Question - after decryption, carriage-control oddness?

Hi,

I'm having an odd, though minor, issue with certain encrypted
messages... they decrypt correctly, but when I view them after
decrypting (using Mutt), carriage returns are explicitly displayed,
thusly:

This is some^M
message text^M

The actual line breaks are in the correct place, and "^M" is actually
a single character of course.

When the same sender sends a message that is signed but not encrypted,
it looks fine.

The sender is using Mozilla configured to do in-line PGP:

User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 (X11/20040913)
X-Enigmail-Version: 0.86.1.0
X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime


One thing I notice that might be a clue is that the message specifies
the character set:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Charset: ISO-8859-1
Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org

[...]

But... ISO-8859-1 doesn't seem like a choice that should result in any
unusual weirdness.  I'm using whatever Mutt defaults to under Redhat
Linux on the receiving end.

Has anyone run across this before and could point me in the right
direction as to exactly what's happening?

Thanks much!

Cheers,
-Chris
