My configuration is:
cyrus-imapd 2.2.12
postfix 2.2.1
horde 3.0.5
imp 4.0.3
Mail 1.1.6 from PEAR

IMP sends emails through the local "sendmail" command from postfix. This
command expects lines to be terminated by "\n". The "redirect" command in
IMP (which fetches the message body directly from the IMAP inbox) delivers a
message which contains "\r\n" as newline characters, however. Depending on
the mail servers the email passes through, the email will have an empty line
between every line of text, when it reaches the recipient.

I attached a patch, which converts all newline to characters to "\n" for
redirected messages ... but this is probably not a universal solution, since
it may break other cases ...
