Default Single Space a Document Pasted into Email

When I copy and paste a plain text document into email it appears double
spaced, even though I have formatted it as single spaced. I remember once
finding a tip online that explained how to change it back to single spacing,
but lost that tip and can't find it again. (Also I'm in 2007/Vista now and
don't know if it would work the same way.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Remove any manual line breaks; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/CleanWebText.htm.

You may also want to do this: Select the text and press press Ctrl+1 to get
single line spacing. Then, set the Spacing Before and After to zero (in the
Paragraph group on the Page Layout tab). (These settings are not necessarily
relevant when pasting into an email application, though.)

Also, you may want to ask the question in a forum devoted to your email
application.
