A merchant who perhaps should remain nameless (*cough cough Staples cough cough*) sent me an email receipt for a purchase in their store. The HTML body of the email is HORRENDOUSLY formatted overall and in general, with e.g., many <html>...</html> and <body>...</body> tags scattered throughout, but one problem in particular stands out. When I attempt to forward the message, the header of the forward, i.e., the blank lines followed by the "-------- Forwarded Message --------" separator line, isn't there. Well, actually, it IS there, but you can't see it because it's being displayed with a font-size of zero, because the geniuses who formatted the receipt email put "font-size:0" in a style declaration for "html" at the top of the message. I've attached a sample message, greatly boiled down from the original message, which demonstrates this problem.
We had something like this for line spacing set to 0, IIRC.

Yes, this is a issue with inline styles in quoted/forwarded messages we use for the whole new message.
