If you pipe the text/enriched message part to a simple pager (eg, less), you'll see that, as described, he composed a regular email with some text/enriched markers, then changed the MIME type from text/plain to text/enriched. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_text, a single newline in enriched text is treated like a space, thus leading to his paragraphs delimited by double-newlines being wrapped together. Since he didn't remove the quote markers, they got wrapped, too. -- Ed Blackman
