I have no problem with the format of his messages.

There's your problem.

C=F means that a line ending in SP CR LF should be wrapped with the
following line while a line without the trailing space ends a
paragraph. I'm quite certain that you're seeing incorrect wrapping in
all of his messages, even if you don't realize it. He seems to have a
habbit of adding hard returns at the end of a sentence, and if GMAIL
does not handle C=F then it will wrap those.

But not so good at handling standards.
