Each time I have done this I end up with an epub that retains the original blank lines (change in narrator, change in scene, other intentional blank lines, etc) but it no longer has a blank line after each and every paragraph, line of dialogue etc. No idea how or why this works, but it does for me....hope it is of some help to you!

Awesome. That does the trick. Thanks!
When I tried the unfiltered web page...Calibre ported in...I opened the zip and checked it - extra blank lines.
This way (Filtered web page), it works just right. Thanks for the workaround! I don't understand the difference (but I haven't had time to crack open the HTML and see what looks different).
As far as RTF: I just don't get why every end of paragraph gets a blank line dropped in after the paragraph. It seems like it would be as simple as
If there is a paragraph symbol (and no other text) = blank line
otherwise, no blank line.
Even regardless of this, I would expect Calibre to be dropping blank lines altogether...not adding extra ones.
