Return or No Return

I have a script with the line

    set textLine to read refNr before return

I use the script to read plain text files saved from Eudora and it has worked correctly for years.
Now, I'm trying to read plain text files saved from Mail and I've found that 'read' incorrectly reads the whole document.
Mail documents DO contain return characters. I've verified this by opening them with TextEdit and TextWrangler.
So, why does 'read before return' ignore the return character?
