Summary: There are lotsa ways!

I know of three methods; I've had occation to use all of them:
1) Use a decent telecommunications program.  Red Ryder has an option for this.

2) Use a word processor.  Both MacWrite & Word 3.01 allow global replace.  I
   used to use macwrite, but I find word is faster on large documents.  For
   Macwrite, you "cut" the line-feed (the rectangle) and "paste" it into the
   find dialog.  In Word, for some reason you can't paste into the find dialog,
   but you can use "^010"; these four characters are a line-feed to word.
   For either, leave the replacement text empty, and choose "change all".

3) Use the shareware program Macify.  This neat program has several options,
   including stripping control characters, removing all carrige returns except
   between paragraphs, converting spaces to tabs, converting strings like "\*"
   to bullets, converting "fl", "fi", etc. to their proper ligatures,
   converting "..." to sets of open (left) quote ... close (right) quote, and
   more.
