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.
