I'm not sure if this has any bearing on what you reported here, but I do this:
fetchmail->procmail->dovecot->Claws-Mail
When I open certain emails, the empty lines between paragraphs are missing. If this is part of what you're reporting, I can pay more attention as to which emails display this anomaly.
Thanks,

Hi.
I've made a strange observation. When having Dovecot (at least) with maildir and moving (via IMAP) mail received by some client (Evolution 3.4) into it the following happens:
Regardless of whether the mail was originally(!) set with CRLF or LF (i.e. when I use netcat to submit the plain SMTP to the relaying MTA).
When the client (Evolution) had received the mail via POP3 before moving it via IMAP into Dovecot... then the maildir file within dovecot is all LF.
When the client however received it via IMAP, before in turn moving it on via IMAP into Dovecot, then the maildir file is mixed CRLF and LF, i.e. the body is CRLF, the headers are terminated...
Well the actually bug here is probably in Evolution (as so many others... o.O)... but I wondered... what is Dovecot expected to write files? Platform end-of-line markers (i.e. LF in case of UNIX) or always network end-of-line markers (CRLF)?
Cheers, Chris.
