I'm experiencing an HTML rendering issue in the Zoho Mail Android app where blank lines between paragraphs in markdown are not being displayed, causing all paragraphs to run together without spacing. This is different behavior than rendering in other email software. The API of the newsletter service I used only uses markdown, so I feel like this is a common practice.

What the system is sending (plaintext/markdown):

1. *While OpenAI heads to NATO, China draws its own lines in the sand.*
   
2. 
   
3. Yesterday I wrote about OpenAI's military expansion—ChatGPT's maker heading to the Pentagon and NATO. Today, the other shoe dropped: China released its five-year national development strategy, and it's a clear declaration of technological independence.
   
4. 
   
5. ## What the Plan Actually Says
   
6. 
   
7. China's new policy blueprint, released alongside the opening of the National People's Congress, places artificial intelligence and quantum computing at the center of national development.

Note the blank lines between paragraphs.

How it renders in Zoho Mail Android:

All paragraphs are smashed together with no blank line spacing between them. The text is readable but visually dense — no visual separation between sections.

It renders correctly in Thunderbird (desktop) — proper paragraph spacing with blank lines

I've attached the full email for reference. This appears to be a longstanding rendering issue. Would appreciate a fix or confirmed workaround.

Thanks for a fantastic service at a great value! Hopefully these kinds of minor issues can get ironed out.
