[X4U] Paragraph (space-after) formatting in Mail emails

[Brett Conlon]

Thanks Art & Bjorn,

Art, if you mean Mail --> Services --> Format, I don't see "Format" as  
an option. I'm in Leopard.

Bjorn, I ended up pasting the text into Text Edit and used the  
"Spacing" pull-down menu to set all back to Single.

Basic paragraph formatting should be available in Mail, surely!?
