Why should that be a problem? That is precisely what a clean ASCII
file should look like.
And if you really want to send an e-mail style text with hard returns,
you can simply "tyf" of "tys" and then send the resulting file.

Coming to think of it, I wonder if K-Mac's inserted double spaces
are not some sort of misunderstanding regarding transmission, rather
than format conversion? I wonder how the file was sent. Maybe as
e-mail body text rather than binary attachment or some such?
