[R] regressing on variable with heavy tails

[Jeroen Ooms]

I have a dependent variable with is very peaked and has heavy tails,
something I haven't encountered before. (histogram:
http://postimage.org/image/2sw9bn8pw/). What could be an appropriate family
or transformation to do regress on this?--
