[Typo3] direct_mailer and linefeeds

[Patrick M. Gray, Jr.]

I have a new typo3 website, and am having a problems with direct_mailer and
linefeeds.  When generating a text version of my newsletter, line breaks are
not intrepreted unless I do two of them in a row.  So, in the html version of a
newsletter that looks like:

Newletter

Here is a story.
Here is another paragraph.

Ends up looking like this in the text version generated by direct_mailer:

Newsletter
Here is a story. Here is another paragraph.

To get the formatting right as text, I need to double up all the linebreaks,
which obviously looks a bit funny as HTML.  Any way to fix this behavior?

Thanks!

Pat
