Perhaps Hotmail users are stupider for putting up with such a broken
feature? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you start with the
assumption that return means paragraph, and not return, then of course
it will be impossible to justify Composer behavior.
We didn't start with that assumption, and our goal is not to be just
like Hotmail.
