There's no need to joinsubsequent lines together. That's just reflowing, as far as I can tell.But you don't need to reflow in that specific way unless your contentis inconveniently hard-wrapped when you want it to be resizable. Thissort of reflowing leads to loss of information if the singleline-breaks were intended and meaningful, so it makes more sense to meto not add those line-breaks into the content, but into their renderingon the client-side. This is the happiest I've been to see an email in a while honestly lol ~ lel
