Every time i use the button to compose email and it opens Gmail, the line breaks and paragraphs don’t appear. A message like: "Hello! Pleasure to meet you" comes as: “Hello! Pleasure to meet you” I tried inputing p and br between \<\> but it doesn’t work ---

The formatting settings in Gmail may be affecting how the text is being transferred and displayed when you use the Compose Email button. You may need to look at the specific formatting settings in Gmail to see if this can be improved.
