Some e-mail clients indent with non-breaking spaces, octets with the
value 0xA0, which are not recognized by Vim as whitespace. I can't
see any in your example, but I don't know what kind of
transformations may be taking place between your client and mine.

If that's the case, you'll have to account for them in whichever of
the suggested solutions works best for you, e.g.,

:%s/\n[\t\xa0 ]*//
