Trying to start a new line in an email message

Hello -- I just replied to my first Upwork message and after typing in the seller's name, I hit return to start the actual message. But it sent the message (of only "Dear Joe,") as soon as I hit return.  This happened twice in a row, so on my third attempt, I kept everything as one long run-on sentence. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

I just used the return key to start a new paragraph in this message box with no problem.

 

Thanks

You have to hit shift and enter, I believe to do a line break. I set mine in the settings so that the enter key does a line break instead of sending the message.

Thank you! I will adjust my settings as well for the line break.
