Mathematica does not seem to handle CSV files containing line breaks. A specification of CSV at http://www.creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/CSV/CSV01.htm provides details on how line breaks should be encoded. When integrating with other systems I encounter this encoding. Mathematica does not handle the line breaks correctly.
