Strange behavior with email formatting

I'm trying to send an email in workflow automation, and the formatting on the received email in gmail is just weird. It's selectively ignoring line breaks, and then when the email is received in gmail, it will randomly have the little 3 dots icon that it uses to "summarize" when it's an email forward, and then clicking that displays the rest of the email. When it's displayed the rest of the email is the purple-ish color it uses for email forwards, so it's almost like it thinks that part of the email was forwarded? I've tried looking at the source code in the editor and trying various things but can't seem to get it to behave right.
