That's correct, HTML tags indicate line breaks and paragraphs, thus there is no need to encode that information into the message as single or double line-breaks. The idea of using plain text in this way, however, while it may certainly work for clients which naturally wrap lines, does not for those which don't. As I said, there is a standard for doing the thing properly (called format=flowed, which you may Google if you're motivated) but Apple and Microsoft intentionally ignore it.
I know for a fact that (at least some) Windows versions of Outlook and Outlook Express do the thing properly; I really can't understand why the Mac versions don't. And of course format=flowed originated with Eudora, on the Mac. Of the textmode clients, only alpine has a workaround for this breakage; mutt doesn't, and neither do most newsreaders.
