| Oct 4, 2018 at 12:09 | comment | added | Toothrot | Your dilemma seems to stem from two conflicting rules: (1) that there should be no capital letter after a comma; and (2) that a new paragraph begins with a capital letter. This dilemma can be resolved by recognizing that the salutation and the beginning of the letter in fact belong to the same paragraph, even though they are separated from each other by a double line break, which is typographically indistinguishable from a paragraph break, though grammatically different. | |
