Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Without this fix, when viewing plaintext emails in Trojitá, each letter
is on its own line, making it difficult to read messages at best.

Two fixes from upstream QtWebkit can fix this problem.

[Test Case]

Open any email when signed into an IMAP server with Trojitá, and if the
email is an HTML email, select the "Plaintext" tab if it isn't selected
already.

It should be displayed normally, with a regular sized font.

[Regression Potential]

Little to none. If another QtWebkit-using package depends on the way
this has already worked in an unsafe way, it could break, but this is
unlikely.

I could also see how it could potential to break if the email is very,
very, very large, because it has to refresh the view, but at most you
would expect some slowness.
