Generally speaking, ask the person or people to whom you are submitting how s/he/they want the document formatted. Barring that, I have seen the first line indented and subsequent paragraphs _not_ indented, but not the reverse. It would look like a mistake to me. I would either indent everything or not indent anything. If you're not indenting, use a double space between paragraphs.
