That looks like a snippet from my reply earlier this week.
Here is the post online:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-April/194676.html
I reviewed the post with Safari, Firefox and then installed Camino
1.6.7 on OSX. Looks fine in all of them. I did copy from an R console
when pasting the above, which did have the newline in the source.
I might expect a problem with an e-mail client that may have problems
displaying "format = flowed" e-mails which is the default in Apple
Mail when sending plain text e-mails, but in a browser I am not sure
if this should be an issue.
The page source for the post in the archive shows a newline so it is
not clear to me why you are having rendering issues.
More info on 'format = flowed' is available here:
http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html
and the formal spec is here:
