Would using <p> work if the email client is set to display only plain text?

Rocky, proper html formating should be <p>bla bla bla</p><p> </p>.  You
could also use <br>.  The difference is <br> is a soft-return where <p> is a
hard-return.

However you should consider using both CRLF and <p>.  This is the same as
looking at the source of a web page.  Using the CRLF formats the source and
the <p> formats the html.  Some email readers may be set to display only
plain text (strip out html) so then the formating would still remain the
same.
