AFAIK it isn’t common for on-line writing, but I do occasionally see websites with indented paragraphs. However, when people write emails they do use this writing style. Emails are different from on-line articles.

I suspect there will be more people using indents in emails.

I believe for English this is a British thing, as the colonies simply copied from the UK. The practice probably stays on longer in the colonies while the UK already moves on.

EDIT: We may need an option to turn this feature off for `email in` because for many sites people never email in code sniplets, and it will be highly likely that those indents are paragraph indents instead.
