That’s probably a bug for <literal>. As is the background color, I
think. I’ll fix that in the next release.

There’s also something strange going on in that literallayout that I’ll
investigate.

This markup, FYI, introduces an extra line break at the beginning of the
literal layout. If you want the “To:” line to be the first line of the
block, use:

   <literallayout><literal>To: [email protected]

Similarly at the end.

                                        Be seeing you,
