I couldn't see anything wrong beyond the wrapping you mentioned.  You did
mention it sometimes losing a newline.  Is it possibly because you need to
toggle wrap in PAN?  By default, I believe that's the "w" key, as the
shortcut.  If you don't normally toggle it, perhaps you hit it by accident
and need to hit it again.

Here, that and the "h"=headers key, are regularly used.  I change wrap
mode depending on the post I am viewing.  (I use the "c"=monospace
character toggle occasionally as well, but tend to like to keep it
monospace anyway, so don't use it as much.)
