Ok, but a bug, no?

If so, I'm inclined to call it a bug in the Microsoft Office-generated HTML.

The entire purpose of the   entity is to be explicitly represented as white space. Microsoft Word, for whatever reason, has included an additional blank paragraph between the salutation and the first paragraph of the body. So MailMate appears to be respecting the HTML correctly and inserting that paragraph.

The correct HTML for what you want would resemble:

```
<p>John,</p>
<p>I have searched through m...</p>
```

Note the &nbsp; in the middle line. Apparently, the line that appeared blank in original was not empty — the non-breaking space was there. MailMate encloses it as its own paragraph, hence so much white space.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but it keeps happening.

I read in HTML if the message has it, but reply in plain text. MM2 will sometimes insert extra quoted lines when there’s a blank line in the original.

For example, here’s the original html via cmd-option-U:

<div class=3D"WordSection1">
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">John,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-indent:.5in">I have searched through m=

The reply text comes out:

John,



I have searched through m...

I’m not sure what’s causing the problem. Note that the middle line of the three blank quoted lines has two spaces in it after the angle bracket, while the other two are empty.

John
