need linebreaks in excerpt

Hi,
I love the possibilities of this plugin, but is it possible to NOT remove the line breaks in the excerpt?
There are some other tags that would be nice to keep as well, like headers, em and strong, but the line-breaks are my main concern.

There is another plugin I have used before that allow you to not strip any tags at all, but this sometimes gives problems with images (because sometimes divs don’t get closed…) so I would an option that strips the images but not other tags.

Is this even possible?

Hope you can help!!
