[Not a Bug]
This is not a bug.  The substitution exists to deal with
subtle formatting characteristics of browsers.  Although
it looks redundant, it generates output that properly
reflects the formatting of the orginal data while plain
\n's do not (and would require more filter logic to achieve
proper rendered results).

Summary:  Redundant substitution

Original Submission:  This is line 495 in mhtxtplain.pl:

    $chunk =~ s/\n/<br\n>/g;

It was added in revision 2.26, and I suppose it should be removed.
