Message composition format, HEP and Movable Type

Getting your message format, and line break handling correct for this combination is kinda tricky. I have mine set as following:

I have to do this on a message-by-message basis, because the pure-HTML-only mode, which is configurable by default for a specific domain, did not work out for me (Edit -> Preferences -> Mail&Newsgroups -> Send Format -> HTML and Plain Text Domains). Of course, I could have switched my default message sending format to mixed-mode, but since much of time is spent on mailing lists, I'm still a plain-text-only mail junkie. Setting such on a message-by-message basis in Mozilla involves going to the Options menu and switching on 'Plain and Rich (HTML) Text' in the Format menu.
That's all. Now I have your blogs being fed into my mailclient, and me blogging from my mailclient. No more anxiously pushing refresh in Aggie or AmphetaDesk, since HEP fetches RSS feeds hourly, and I check blog2mail mail every 10 minutes from within Mozilla. Cool stuff.
