When writing any paper in English does it matter whether it is an techinical report or an essay in regards to indenting?

For example, in a lab report do you indent when starting new paragraphs? I would think so, since it makes it easier to read.

btw: it shouldn't matter on Forum posts :p

Most of my english papers I'll indent. I'll also indent for most reports and letters. Some business letters I don't indent though.. sometimes no indentation looks better.

Correctly stated before... English papers should be indented. Technical reports and memos, no indentation. Just blank line between paragraphs.
