Basically, like it has a CRLF or some such animal.

Wait!  When I pasted the results from Notepad to here it looks good.
What's going on? I'll open it in Wordpad instead of Notepad. That looks 
ok now.
It probably has an EOL character that is not recognised by Notepad. In EDTF press F15 and it will show you what it thinks the line ending character is (are). 

There are four possible EOL character(s);
        1) CRLF - Common on PC
        2) LF   - Common on Unix
        3) CR   - Common on pre-OS X macs
        4) LFCR - Rarely if ever used
I expect that Notepad only supports CRLF while Wordpad is a little more open-minded.
Use DSPF and view the data in Hex and you'll be able to see what sort of EOL character is in the data. Given that this is a Domino log file which likely means Unix-weenies wrote it then it is probably using LF.
I have some vague idea that you can get FTP to convert LF or CR into CRLF pairs. Hmm ... have to check. However there are plenty of free programs that will convert EOL characters and you could probably use the tr shell command to accomplish this.
