You can pop the MID of your message (this whole string)

<1026edn$fj3g$5@dont-email.me>

into http://al.howardknight.net/ and
see how many blank lines are there. That is in case there
is some difference caused by your newsreader itself.

I don't see anything in your post that is concerning.

If you're curious about these things, you can also look at any MBOX that is
relevant, and you should notice some small number of blank lines between
posts, and the RFCs may be able to explain where and why the sum total of
those are present. In this example, I'm finding one blank line, but I've
seen as many as four lines.

I have seen plenty of blank lines added while I'm composing a post, and
I try my best to clean that up before clicking Send. I would have to shoot
video of the screen, to try to catch what is going on to make them. I
don't think you are imagining things. Maybe it's something that
happens when I'm editing.

This is an example of making a screen recording. in Linux, it is "X11grab",
in Windows it is "GDIgrab". On the Linux side, for the newer Wayland/Weston,
the ffmpeg team will have to add another grab to work with that. Firefox
already has three options for working under Linux with the various options now.
This means that occasionally in Linux, the "X11grab" might not work.
In this example, the quality setting of "1" is top quality or minimal compression.
Using H264 provides tremendous compression, so the file generation rate won't be
all that high (compared to storing frames as .bmp which is lossless but wasteful).

ffmpeg.exe -framerate 30 -f gdigrab -i desktop -q:v 1 -vcodec h264 out.mp4

This is taking one frame a second and storing as a series of BMP files.

ffmpeg.exe -framerate 1 -f gdigrab -i desktop -f image2 L:\TEMP\a%05d.bmp
