If you are composing in something such as Word, then instead of ending a
line with Enter, use Shift-Enter. Then when you paste, OE will interpret
that as a single line break. It interprets Enter as a double line break.

Hi, When I copy from one email message and paste into a new message, it
double spaces the copied text and I can't delete the spaces. I have to
type
the message from scratch to maintain my formatting. I have selected plain
text and it takes out the spaces but then I lose all my formatting. Any
suggestions on how to take out the spaces without the formatting would be
great.
Thanks,
Heather
