I created a new signature yesterday... but for some reason it is double
spaced when I use "clear day" stationery. Any ideas?

You may have some registry corruption in your existing identity. Create a
new identity, switch to it and set up a mail account and test it. I just
prepared a message using "Clear Day" stationery and inserted a signature and
did not have any problem with spacing. Make certain you have not hit the
Enter key twice in preparing your signature by opening OE
Tools/Options/Signatures and check your signature there.

No, I haven't hit the return key more than once. For the some reason even
the body of the message is the same way.

Once again, I'd suggest creating a new identity and switch to it and test it
with your mail account. You most likely are using an identity with some
minor registry corruption.

I have this happen frequently in WordPad and occasionally in OE.
The answer is that Enter means "start a new paragraph"
which implies a "line end" + a blank line.

When this happens I have to remember to use Shift-Enter
every time I want just a line end and not a "new paragraph".

It is annoying and I haven't found out why it happens
sometimes but not always. I suspect it has something to do
with pasting examples of "rich text" into the document
which then changes the mode of the document
(e.g from "Rich Text" to "Word") but it doesn't seem to be
a simple as that.

I suspect there may be no way to undo it in any particular document
and the only way to avoid it would be not to paste in stuff which changes
the edit mode, assuming we could know precisely what that "stuff" was.

Instead you could always paste text first into a Notepad window
and then recopy it from there to your document. That would
ensure that the text would not be introducing *any* attributes
which might cause a switch in mode.

But that is a nuisance and often unnecessary so what I usually do
is paste something I have copied and if it causes "effects"
in the document I'm editing I just undo it, paste the offending string
into a Notepad window to remove the attributes and try again.

The problem with that procedure is that if I don't notice the
"effects" soon enough I will have more work undoing the paste
than putting up with them, such as, in your case, using Shift-Enter
instead of Enter to generate a line end.

Edit the HTML and change the P element (which displays as two lines) to
the BR element which only displays one line.
