Can anyone suggest an editor that will allow MIXED line breaks in a document? Yes. They occur and there are reasons for leaving them alone while making small corrections.

BBEdit insists on changing them to be all the same at save time. MPW insists on classic mode. TextEdit gets all wrapped up in RTF.
