1. Top-posting will never help
2. Jan is a developer. The developer who might be able to help. I
understand from your problem description what you're seeing, but I don't
have a solution to offer.  At a guess, I'd say this is a browser issue.
But if Jan wants a screenshot and you need two to demonstrate the problem,
then give him two.
3. If a screenshot of the view source would show 20-40 </br>s, then post
that instead.
4. Stackexchange might be an option - offer to moderate it.  It's a
community project. But the dispersed developers have chosen to use a
mailing list, for reasons that suit their free engagement.
5. The fact that no one else seems to have this issue, has posted something
similar, is offering a solution, points to this being a local problem.
6. You haven't stated what version of imp and horde.  Or if you have
individual packages installed or the groupware package.  That's not
helping.  None of the completely voluntary participants on this list know
your system like you do.

- have you tested/confirmed this behaviour in other browsers with the same
account?
- with a different account in the same browser?
- same browser, but with private-browsing activated?
- same account, same browser, different attachment?

If the problem is in the code, then you're going to need to run a
stack-trace, or activate debugging code.  Can you do that?

Personally, I don't use HTML email, but I'll try to replicate this when I'm
at a computer and remember.  But the last time I did use HTML email to
embed an attachment, I didn't have an issue.  But I'm running the latest
git.

Professional (paid) support is also available.
