You could say "If a line starts in a capital letter then it's probably a new paragraph", I suppose. It wouldn't be 100% reliable, but it would be a good start.

Speaking in general terms, you are right. This ought very rarely be the case with plaintext though.
Are you guessing, by the way, or have you seen the file? I myself would not claim to be able to tell where the paragraph breaks if my only indicators were lines starting with capitals... an indicator that is, by the way, trivial to identify and process via a script.
Same question to DaleDe: are you guessing, or is what you are saying specifically the issue with Gideon's file?
