Hi David,
Thanks for the test.  
What I see through kmail 
is lines 1-4 scrunched together on one line 
(e.g. I see line 2line 3 with no space after the 2),  
no (empty) lines 5 & 7, 
and lines 6 & 8 each on a separate line.  
-- George  
P.S. I've added a few spaces at the end of lines 
to make this a tad more readable in case 
someone else has a similar problem.  
P.P.S. On the other hand, when I look at your test 
in the archive (using Mozilla or Opera), 
I see 8 lines.
