Importing TMX

While working with XLF files from an agency, I have been sent TMX translation memories. When trying to import the TMX into Wordfast 3, I receive the error:

***warning*** TU 1 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 1 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 2 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 2 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 3 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 3 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 4 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 4 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 5 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 5 contains carriage return
***warning*** TU 6 contains carriage return

...and so on.

I previously found a work-around, which is to import the TMX into Wordfast Anywhere ( [url removed] ) then export as a Wordfast TM, and this has worked fine. It's just a strange process to have to follow each time that I'm sent a job!

I'm wondering whether newer versions of WF will address this or whether there are more straight-forward work-arounds? It seems odd that one version of WF works and newer versions don't.
