line break <br> appearing in unordered list in email?

I have a Universal Email behavior using a standard template. There's an unordered list in the email is formatted as follows:

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

However when the email is sent, an extra break is appearing after the bullet point. I copied the source code from the email that arrived and it looks like this:

<ul>
<li><br>Item 1</li>
<li><br>Item 2</li>
<li><br>Item 3</li>
</ul>

resulting in a very messy looking list! Any idea how I can prevent this?

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

Hi Jason

See PM.

on viewing source in the HTML Editor window, the code for the list is:

<ul>
	<li>
		The aeMadeeasy system is suitable for employers of any size.</li>
	<li>
		It is exclusively available through Peak accountancy firms and has been developed in conjunction with Jargonfree Benefits™.</li>
	<li>
		aeMadeeasy manages and runs the process of auto-enrolment, employee communications and the required record keeping for employers.</li>
	<li>
		It is a cloud-based system that does not need to be installed locally.</li>
</ul>

with a line break after the <li> tags.

in the webassist/email/temaplates/Blank_6.php file that is the email body for this page, there is the following code to add the HTML Editor into the email body:

<td style="padding: 3px;"><?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",(is_array($pval)?implode(", ",$pval):$pval))); ?></td>

this is converting new lines to <br> tags.

i removed the str_replace:
<td style="padding: 3px;"><?php echo((is_array($pval)?implode(", ",$pval):$pval)); ?></td>


to prevent the <br> tags being added to the list.

That's fixed it, thanks - I had to add in a bottom margin to the <p> style as well as it removed all the spacing between paragraphs, but working fine now!

you're welcome.
