The original citation came through as a single line in the email I got
from the mailing list, and it's intact in the html archives, too:
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lmi/2017-01/msg00025.html
so this is less bad than I feared.

(It really is two separate lines where you quoted it above, because
what you quoted was two separate lines, intended to show what I was
seeing while composing it. I suspect that your MUA didn't knit back
together what was truly broken; you just saw it in its original
unbroken glory because it actually got sent that way, although
icedove "wrapped" it to less than screen width in the window where
I was composing it.)
