Build ID: 20140723083501
Steps to reproduce:
When composing an HTML email, the default format is body text, and paragraphs are made using <br /> tags. This is just old fashion, and not uses the clarity of paragraphs.
I think proper HTML paragraphs should be used when composing an email.

Andre, you're perfectly right. Known issue since time immemorial. Hairy code. We're looking for a volunteer coder to fix this.

I'd like to help, but I don't know where to start.
Please, don't mark this bug as a duplicate, I had a look on the other one, and I disagree. IMHO, the correct behaviour is standard:
- Pressing the enter key once should create a line break, inside a paragraph (<br />)
- Pressing the enter key twice should create a new paragraph (<p />)
AFAIK, this is already the case, but you still need to start your email by manually selecting paragraph instead of body.
