It can -- and should -- distinguish one paragraph
from the other by a <CR>. No empty line should be needed.

Not when I _end_ the paragraph, methinks....

<sigh> One of the reasons why I want to dump Eudora is
becuase of its stupid, patronizing and utterly
ridiculous Moodwatch thingie, that grades "distrusted"
words in e-mail with "chili peppers". (Too hot to
handle.) Hence (and for some more, but this was the
turning point), I started looking for another e-mail
client. So I came here. And now you say I can't say chili peppers? Fuck.

Promised. I _will_ look at the keyboard stroke section
of the FAQ with soem more scrutiny.

<grin> Thanks for the encouragement. That is kind. Plus, it fortifies me ;-)
