Looking at the OP's headers I see:
X-Mailer: MessagingEngine.com Webmail Interface
User-Agent: Cyrus-JMAP/3.11.0-alpha0-379-gabd37849b7-fm-20240408.001-gabd37849
It appears our friend is using a Web browser and likely is presented
with a text box that looks all nice and neat with wrapping and all but
hits the list as one long line per paragraph.
