Could you provide me a test case please ?
For me it's ok if I copy from bugzilla.

indeed it's the generated html which provides some new line.
Comment 4 Justin Zobel 2022-10-26 03:07:14 UTC
Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
Comment 5 Gunter Ohrner 2022-10-31 07:55:41 UTC
Due to too many bugs in kMail some years ago I stopped using it and switched to
Thunderbird. I was not happy to have to make that choice, but since then at
least I didn't lose access to my mails any more because some maintenance update
does not work at all - as it happened more than once with kMail unfortunately.
:-(

So I cannot re-test.
