I agree with whoever said it's an old issue.
Blank lines do not protect headers. I find that putting a page number is the
best way to protect headers.
Here's a tip from Jake's site that I wrote a while back.
Title: Protecting Chapter titles and other headings
Applicable Product/Version: All Programs - Any Version
In order to protect chapter titles, and other section headings such as
prologue, epilogue, interlude, part, etc. from being removed by the stripping
tool,
I found that the following works:
1. If page numbers are at the top of the page, add the proper sequential page
number and leave a blank line between the number and the title you want to
protect. If there already is a page number at the bottom of the page move it
to the top.
2. In cases where all page numbers are at the bottom of the page, add the
title or author to the top of the page, followed by a blank line so that that
page matches the format of the other pages.

Hi Jamie,
Sorry I took so long, but I had to find a test book, which has the page
numbers at the bottom. I validated Bronte by Glyn Hughes, and I thought I
could leave a blank line above and below any heading I wanted saved from the
stripper: it didn't work. I didn't check every chapter, but I had the heading
in my submitted copy and the stripper took it out. I also had "Chapter 1" as a
heading and it was stripped.
Tricking this stripper is getting to be a nuissance.
Mike

So what is the verdict on books that placed extra blank lines before the
chapter heading when the page numbers are at the bottom? Did it work?
I don't have any way to check, so a test book was the only thing I could
think of.
