Details

I am using the nightly binary build of 12-03-98. Both viewer and xpviewer display the last (or only) line of a paragraph incorrectly. I have the whole body set to justify. Justification should apply to all except the last line of a paragraph. In fact your code applies it even to the last line. The result looks absurd. It also applies it to single lines, e.g. From: Charles Hedrick See the url http://rucs.rutgers.edu/email.wp1.html for an example.

Reassigning to kipp (no more toshok). Charles, your page doesn't exist anymore, do you have it somewhere else?
The problem here is that you are treating the BR element the same as a line- break from text overflow of line-boxes. If a line was terminated by a BR element you need to justify it left if the writing direction is ltr and right if it is rtl.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.
