"Enter" in HTML = p with is 'double spacing' in rendered in HTML. There
isn't an extra space, its just how html rendered the paragraph you'll need
to use shift+enter if you want to use the br tag. Or just use 1 Enter, not
2 (most people use two for the extra white space in their client).

This should not a problem with plain text - unless the client (i.e., yahoo
or the webmail client) converts the line breaks to the p tag, not the br
tag.

I have outlook 2007.

When I type an email in plain text it looks fine, but sometimes when
received by others extra linebreaks have been added after each "enter".
This
does not happen with all recipients, just some.

For instance, I manager a yahoo group. When I compose an email to the
group
it looks fine, but when I receive the email it is double spaced. I spoke
with
yahoo about this and they told me it is a Microsoft problem. Is there
something I can do to have emails arrive looking the same way that I
composed
them?

I read somewhere that if I shift+enter instead of enter that will solve
the
problem. It seems ridiculous that users should all have to do this every
time. Is there an easier way to correct this problem permanently?
