HTML mail from Outlook

MS Outlooks likes to send HTML-only e-mails. Its HTML is a little strange and
each line is in a <p> section. 
This isn't handled well by Claws. When Claws displays HTML as text, but more
importantly when it quotes an HTML e-mail in a reply, its conversion will add
extra newlines, making the text harder to read: there will be an empty line
between each line of the original e-mail.

I'm attaching an example HTML file generated by Outlook. This HTML file is
rendered "incorrectly" (as described above) by Claws, Links, Lynx and W3M, but
rendered correctly by Firefox. Attaching example outputs of Claws and Firefox
to show the difference. This is particularly painful when Claws quotes an
e-mail by prepending >.

The "fix" that I'm carrying locally is attached in a patch. It works for me but
may not be the most correct solution.
