Nick, Thank you for the suggestion. I use mlterm as my mutt editor.
When I do Ctl-RMB on the mlterm, a configurataion dialog for it pops
up. There are many configuations, but of interest under its "Others"
tab is the option "Trim trailing CR/LF in pasting". I tried to enable
it, but whether I click Save&Exit, Apply&Exit or Apply, the option is
not saved.

I find that mlterm can be configured with entries in ~./mlterm/main .
The online guide runs down the options, but nothing about CR/LF or
pasting.

I'll have to pursue this with the mlterm maintainer.
