[imp] HTML email replies badly formatted

[John H. Bennett III]

Hello all,

I get a lot of html email, and I have my preference set to reply using  
the same format as the original message.  When I go to reply to these  
emails with imp, the reply is badly formatted.  There are multiple  
line breaks everywhere within the response, and I have to actually  
edit the original email to make it not look so slopy and  
unprofessional. 

This doesn't happen in Outlook or Thunderbird, so I'm pretty certain  
it's in the way imp is interpreting the message, but I don't have any  
real way to prove that other than what I see in how the email response  
is formatted.  Has anyone found a fix or permanent workaround for  
this?  How else are others dealing with it?  I had seen a suggestion a  
while back in the archives, but that suggestion would then be broken  
upon the new code upgrade.  I had tested this a while back with the  
GIT checkout I had, and saw the same behavior.

Thank you in advance,

John
