However, I *think* your patch will work since erring on the side of
less newline characters always seems to work better too many newline
characters (I know this is a really in-depth, technical analysis of
the problem...)
I will add this to HEAD for testing, and hopefully get this in before
IMP 4.0.4 is released (there doesn't seem to be a Milestone input on
this bug so I can't set this version requirement there).

Mail 1.1.6 from PEAR
IMP sends emails through the local "sendmail" command from postfix.
This command expects lines to be terminated by "\n". The "redirect"
command in IMP (which fetches the message body directly from the IMAP
inbox) delivers a message which contains "\r\n" as newline characters,
however. Depending on the mail servers the email passes through, the
email will have an empty line between every line of text, when it
reaches the recipient.
I attached a patch, which converts all newline to characters to "\n"
for redirected messages ... but this is probably not a universal
solution, since it may break other cases ...
