I have attached the file I sent myself.  I composed it in kontact/kmail and
viewed it in Gmail (online).  Here is the difference I see.

What I wrote, saved, and is in my Sent folder in kmail:
--- --- ---
This is a test message I am writing to myself. I am trying to find words to
fill up this paragraph so it wraps a bit. I don't really like lorem ipsum
generators -- so boring. But I have a knack for finding anything to blabber on
about. Perhaps I could be the culprit in a Holmes mystery where the pages I
write on a full of gibberish but made of gold.

So this paragraph should have a blank line above it. it should not be directly
touching the immediately preceding paragraph. Of course, with my luck,
something will work right and prove me wrong.


I have TWO blank lines above this one to show another example.

I hope this helps diagnose the issue. FWIW, this paragraph has ONE blank line
above it.

I looked at the saved mbox file and it has a lot of html cruft in it.  The
styling seems completely wacky and overloaded.  Can that be simplified a bit?

I will attach the mbox file momentarily.
