It's a standard window provided by Apple. You can use option+return to insert an “invisible” line-feed.
The reason I’m trying to do this is somewhat arcane. I’ve noticed that MailMate seems to increase the number of line breaks between paragraphs in forwarded or replied-to emails. When I’m inserting responses inline in those messages, the extra spacing can be kind of distracting, and so I was going to explore using a simple search-and-replace to reduce the number of extra line breaks between paragraphs. But that requires being able to search for consecutive line breaks—e.g., “>\n>”.
Sounds like there might be a bug we should look into, but let's do that off list (Help ▸ Send Feedback). I'll need an example messages (drag'n'drop it into the message) and a series of steps to reproduce.
Is that possible? Or, even better, is there a way of changing the underlying behavior of MailMate adding extra line breaks in forwarded or replied-to emails? Or maybe I’m doing something wrong that’s causing those extra line breaks to appear?
I don't think you could be doing anything wrong, but maybe there's some issue with MailMate and the other email client used in the correspondence.
