    I kept on trying to remind myself to switch it from html to plain text before I hit send, but alas, I clicked send, and all my formatting was gone. Here's an option I want. HTML formatting, but replace my carriage returns with
    , so I can still use HTML, but I don't have to enter
    every time I want to leave a new line.
