How about replacing <DIV optional crud></DIV> with <P></P>?
For some obscure Microsoftish reason <DIV> is often used as <P>, so that
might display better.

This is actually a workaround to avoid a display bug with Eudora mail
clients, when the CSS-styles are defanged. Eudora would for some odd
reason make semi-random parts of the message simply disappear.
This was easily reproduced, since alot of Outlook 2000 clients would
send messages triggering this behavior.
Defanging the DIV tags made the problem go away, and since it didn't
cause much other damage (AFAIK) that is now the default behavior.
