looks correct to me, and looks like your message indeed no longer has
Format=3DFlowed, so it should display similarly correct for all.
Would the Thunderbird setting in question be worth adding to the FAQ?

I believe that's due to Google Groups adding <BR>s. The uBlock rule in
the FAQ:
> groups.google.com##div[role=3D"region"]>br:style(display:none!important)
is supposed to hide the <BR>s, bit it only affects children of
div[role=3Dregion], not all descendants. (no clue why Google Groups is
showing the whitespace text as quoted, but that does make it a
non-child descendant. I believe you can remove the ">" from the rule and
just replace it with whitespace to make it select all <BR> children of
div[role=3Dregion].)
