Most of this can be dione by using regular expressions in the search box. 
Manual line breaks and paragraph breaks are notoriously harder -- possible, 
but less obvious.

If you want to remove empty lines or clean up email with hard line breaks, 
by far the easiest way is to use autoformat -- in an English OOo, it's 
format->autoformat -> apply.
