I went to the link Keisuke provided for the bug fix list for v16 since the v16.4 release, and I decided to be optimistic and select the last build mentioned: 228799.
I installed that and tested emails and it worked for both the Apple Mail and for Gmail. I did not want to add a linefeed character myself because I have it all over the place, and I sometimes put the same text into 4D text boxes and other places and I don't want to work a lot only to create more problems. I will be moving this build into our production system now, and I am very relieved it worked out.
