Default Notepad ignores line feeds in XML if file size 64k

When we send xml file with size 64k as email attachment and people open it
using notepad. The line feeds are ignored. The line feeds work fine if the
file size is less than 64K. We are in a situation where we could only use
notepad. Any help is appreciated.

While much larger files can be opened in Notepad than noted in the MS
article, that doesn't mean parsing or other functions will behave
correctly beyond those old limits. Use something else to view the .xml
file, like a web browser or Microsoft's XML Notepad 2007 program where
the rendered structure can actually be recognized.

When someone complains about the limitations of Notepad I advise them to try
Emacs.

Is there a version of emacs that works on Windows? I recall using VIM
on Windows, probably as part of Cygwin. Maybe Cygwin also includes
emacs.

You don't need to compile from source, just download the Windows binaries
and install (unzip) into a folder. Make a shortcut to the file called
"runemacs"
and customize your `.emacs' initialization file as needed. It helps to
understand Lisp syntax although it uses a variant called "elisp".
