Persistent "extra linebreak" problem with Live Mail / Hotmail

Why isn't there a newsgroup for Live Mail / Hotmail? Anyhow...

I'm getting annoying by the extra linebreaks Live keeps inserting in my
emails. No matter how careful I am about it, and how good an email looks on
my end before sending, it always has that annoying "blank line for every
time you hit enter" problem when I go to my sent folder and look at what I
sent.

It's like it's interpreting all BR tags as P tags. Know what I mean?

I even tried emailing from Outlook (which I've configured to sync with my
Hotmail account) and it does the same thing, except that when I look at my
sent folder in Outlook, the email looks fine. When I look at the very same
email sent with Outlook, but in IE instead, the extra linebreaks are there
again.

...the hell?

How do I fix this bug?

Thanks.
