It's pseudo-XHTML-formatted mail.  They code the break tags that way so
that both HTML and XHTML browsers will render it properly.  XHTML
requires that all tags be closed and that format is a "shorthand"
notation for <BR></BR> that's specified in the XHTML standards.  XHTML
is an updated HTML based on XML.  They're leaving quite a few tags off,
though, hoping the viewing program will infer that it should be doing
(X)HTML formatting.
