Plain Text Email: Formatting Problems
If you send paragraphs of text where the only carriage return is at the end of each paragraph, then your Subscriber's email software may decide to format the message differently than how you sent it.
NOTE: A carriage return is inserted when you hit Enter or Return on your keyboard.
