An important ruleYou have to mark the end of the paragraphs by <P> tag
otherwise your paragraphs won't be separated.

If you want to break a line, use the <BR> tag.

If you want to put even more space between your paragraphs combine the <P> tag with the &nbsp; tag. ( &nbsp; stands for non-breaking space)
E.g. <P>&nbsp; <P> would place 3 blank lines in.

All of the following tags come in pairs, they have an opening and a closing tag.
If you are not using both of them it may ruin your message's layout.
