Default HTML format - still mystery !

I am using POP yahoo and sending an email from my Outlook2003 to my
hotmail/Gmail/Yahoo account in HTML format. When I receive the email at my
hotmail/gmail/yahoo and view that email in browser I can see that each line
has one or two extra line breaks. I diid not compose the email like that.
When I want to make a paragraph I just enter "Enter Key" twice. But when I
receive there are 4 or more line breaks after each paragraph. Is there some
setting in outlook that I need to pay attention. Why the format are not
retained.

Thanks

HTML sucks. Microsoft converts an Enter to two line breaks. If you want just one use Shift-Enter.

I just noticed that my internet receipent get a file called "winmail.dat"
why this file is sent as an attachment. When the same mail is viewed in
Outlook the "winmail.dat"is not there and there is proper formatting....only
mail seen thru browsers have winmail.dat and screwed up formatting....any
thoughts....any setting somewhere....I am using Yahoo Pop Mail plus
service....

Actually, Enter is converted to "paragraph" (i.e., p).

The winmail.dat file is an attachment to a TNEF message. This is an
indication that even though you think you're sending HTML, you may be
sending Rich Text. Open the contact record of the recipient and
double-click the email address of the contact. Examine the "Internet
Format" drop-down and make sure it says "Let Outlook decide the best sending
format". If that doesn't pan out, post again.
