I think this phrase "depending on the platform, the application, and the
context" is exactly what bothered Shachar. If someone writes a
plain-text mail and assumes that, say, an empty line separates
paragraphs, because this what works in his platform, and his
application, it is possible that in the receiver's application or
platform, this won't be recognized as a paragraph break.
