Counting the blank line, there are 14 lines in that data. When I copy it
from Firefox to the Clipboard and then ask LC how many lines there are in
the data, it comes back with 13 on my Mac. When I put it into a fld, the
line count is 13.

On my customer's PC, the line count = 14.

Paste it into BBEdit and show invisible characters to see what's there. It sounds like Gmail is putting some odd character into the empty line, one that doesn't register on a Mac as a line ending. If so, you can do a replace before processing the text.
