 When I imported entries from my old MT blog into a new Wordpress install,
 I expected my multiple newlines to be preserved.  This is because MT uses
 them to form paragraphs; the Markdown or Text Control plugins can do the
 same in Wordpress, but either way, if you strip them out, you get a huge
 bundle of text which is difficult to read.

 The problem appears to be in the wp-admin/import/mt.php file, which
 ignores blank lines regardless of context.  If a newline were added in the
 event of a blank line when the context was body, comment, extended or
 excerpt, the newlines would be preserved.  The attached patch fixes this.
