There's no way to do this in the Mail preferences, but you may be able to edit the language localization for "On ___, ___ wrote:" to add extra space before. I'll see if I can find it somewhere in the localization files.

Edit: Nope. I found the string, but editing the appropriate bit causes Mail to crash on launch. In Leopard, it's in:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Message

I'd suggest resigning yourself to using the Return key.

Well you could kind of do this with a signature, but you'd lose the personalization (Hi Ron).
