I'm unaware of what Becky is but it's most probably a windows mailer.
Windows/dos uses a CRLF end-of-line convention while unix settles for LF.
Becky is probably encrypting your mail to a file and inserting it back to
the mailer. . upon reception on your unix mail reader/editor. . CR's appear
as ^M.
Removing them would have to use some filtering through dos2unix/sed/
perl. Ie:
perl -e 's/\015$//'
