I don't have an specific answer to your problem but the 5.X releases
are not meant for production use as of yet. Try using the stable
production release version (4.9) and see if the problem persists.

Also, in future e-mails you really need to wrap the text at 80
characters wide so it displays properly on all e-mail clients.
