The problem seems to be at your end. Jen's code looks ok here.

The content type is text/plain, no format=flowed or anything which would
affect the interpretation of line endings. However, after
base64-decoding it only contains unix-style LF line endings, not CRLF
line endings. That might throw your mailer off, but I have no idea why
it would join only some lines but not others.

Truth to be told, that's one reason why I rarely read your mails to the
end. The long lines and the triple-spaced paragraphs make it just too
uncomfortable.
