  I've never heard of metahtml, I don't have the sources, and I have
absolutely no idea about what's going on here[*].  But one little flag did pop
up at me:  sometime in that timeframe (i.e. since late '90s), we stopped
supporting continuation of quoted text across line-ends without an escape,
i.e. we used to accept

    char *fred = "this is a 
multi-line text 
message\n";

where now we require 

    char *fred = "this is a \
multi-line text \
message\n";

so maybe try escaping the line ends and see if that helps?


    cheers,
