Extra space between paragraphs when sending

Outlook 2007 adds extra “line feeds†between paragraphs on all outgoing
messages. I can’t seem to stop it and it is slowly driving me mad. People
getting my e-mails must think I can’t write.

I have checked (“don’t add extra space…â€) in the style formats. Doesn’t
help. The composed messages look fine. They get changed when they are sent.
Sometimes happens on incoming mail. I would go back to Office 2003 but too
many file extensions are now different. If I can’t fix this I may go to a
server based mail system.

Why MS made this change is beyond me. It’s in the same category as changing
the 2003 standard color palette.
 
It is more complicated than that. It takes more paper when printing among
other things. Why is it not possible to fix this issue? Does Outlook 2010
have the same problem? If so, I won't bother upgrading.

I wouldn't worry what others think - email is never perfect.

If you don't press Enter twice at the end of a paragraph, it won't be double
spaced. Or use plain text format.

Yes, outlook 2010 treats Enter as a <p> tag.
