Vienna or Content Provider Formatting Problem?

A particular feed displayed within Vienna usually lacks any paragraph breaks, making it very difficult to read. My question: is this a problem with Vienna or the content provider? I suspect it is the latter but before I contact the website I would like to know the answer and obtain the relevant technical details so I can include them in my communication to the content provider.
Here is a link to a recent article that actually has paragraph breaks in the first part of the article but the second part is a solid block of text. The article on the website has paragraph breaks throughout the piece.

Certainly a provider problem. The feed is lacking <p> tags.

I made a vienna style and added the following.
I like short lines, monospaced fonts and larger type.
Would you like the whole style?

/* keep line length to 5 inches max and 14 point font */
.articleBody
{
font-size:14pt !important;
max-width:5in !important;
}
/* override inline css */
span {
font-family:'Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono',Monaco,monospace !important;
font-size:14pt !important;
}

Hmmm... I suspected that the problem was with the provider but I did not know how to confirm it. I will ask them to start using the paragraph break tags.
Bill, I would appreciate getting the style in case the provider doesn't follow-through on my suggestion. Pardon my ignorance, but if the info under your name is the whole style I don't know how to use it... I looked up how to create custom styles and it's all Greek to me!

No that is only the relevent parts.
Send me an email by clicking my name in the post, then give me an email address where I can send the file. The file is small about 1.5k
