There isn't a "correct codeline" that can be simply added to the program
to adjust the input in this way, the input values for the templates for
both the email and the html output are shared and consequently anything
that is done to one will be done for the other.  If one wanted to simply
do it for only the HTML output then you would have to adjust the values
stored in the template directives individually - this obviously will not
be a simple line of code and probably be as much code as doing it
properly.

As I said before the proper way to do this would be to allow access to
the 'lines' or 'paragraphs' in the inputs through the templating
mechanism, but this requires a developer having the time and inclination
to actually implement it: it is on the TODO list. I've copied in the
developers list to see if anyone feels able to pick it up.
