>From the recordio manpage:

     At the beginning of each line on  descriptor  2,  recordio inserts  the
     prog process ID, along with < for input or > for output. At the end of
     each line it inserts +, a space, or  [EOF];  a space indicates that there
     was a new line in the input or output, and [EOF] indicates the end of
     input or output.

The way I read that (*), Outlook sent a bare linefeed.  That's a no-no.
Netscape behaved properly in your other example.  You could try using fixcrio,
or get Microsoft to fix their broken software.
