Stripping "hard returns" from UNIX mail files

Dear UNIX gurus--
Given that I have saved a mail file, I'd like to download it and
reformat it in my favorite PC wordprocessor. Problem is, saved mail
files end up with a "hard return" at the end of every line and this
prevents most PC wordprocessors from doing their reformatting thing.
It is relatively easy to write a macro within the PC wordprocessor to
"clean up" these unwanted hard returns, but I was wondering if there is
a UNIX utility that would do the job before the file is downloaded.
Thanks!
