Nothing we can do here.  As described below, some html messages do not  
have explicit line break information so when converting from html ->  
text, no line breaks are added.

Update to HEAD.  There is an option to "reply to message in original format".

That's because hotmail sometimes sends messages using div's as a  
substitute for paragraph tags.  I believe the newer versions of out  
html2text filter handle this correctly.
