And I'm intrigued to see that the content type is labelled as text/plain (probably the default that Email::Simple::Markdown creates). I wonder if I switch that to text/html if the blank line problem would go away. It could be that the message arrives as text/plain, but Outlook checks it out and says, "Hey, this is HTML! I can render this!", then sees a blank line, goes back to displaying regular text until the "HTML!" code pops back into gear and it goes back to rendering.

For a long time, I had a link in my .sig going to Groklaw. I heard that as of December 2024, this link is dead. Still, thanks to PJ for all your work, we owe you so much. RIP Groklaw -- 2003 to 2013.
