The situation nb cites appears to be a case of the blind being led by a
deaf-mute. For as far back as I can recall, which goes back quite a way,
beginning with Mastercook v2.0, there has been a way to produce ascii text
files of idividual or groups of recipes. Often, the default was not ascii
text, but MC native format which does have embedded, prorietary code.
Below, see samples of the same recipe exported in MC4 native format and as
text. In addition to these formats, you could always print to a text file,
which, worse case, had a few issues with CR/LF vs CR or LF. Had nb asked
for a text file and his provider knew the various features of MC, there
would have been no issue in getting clean text files. The following
examples were produced using MC v8
MC4 native-format:

Wash greens in a colander.

Throw all ingredients into a large pot and cover.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, the reduce heat and simmer.
Greens are done when they have shrunk down and are cooked through, usually
about a half hour, but you can let it simmer much longer.
Serve with its liquid.
