HTML email design question

First off, I know about all of the pitfalls of using html in email, but this job requires it. My issue is that I'm using inline styles as is necessary in today's Microsoft-destroyed email environment, and I need to modify the spacing between paragraphs. The big problem is that Hotmail does not support the margin tag and Outlook 2007 doesn't support the padding tag at paragraph level. If I use both then every other email client adds double spacing. Does anyone know a way around this?

I suppose you could use double carriage returns between paragraphs.

%26lt;p%26gt;some text here%26lt;/p%26gt;

%26lt;p%26gt;?lt;/p%26gt;

%26lt;p%26gt;some more text here%26lt;/p%26gt;

Or you might?try using style=''text-indent: 45px'' to indent the first line of your?paragraphs.

Thanks for the reply. The issue is not left or right indent but the distance between paragraphs. As I'm trying to make the space less than a full line of spacing, adding an extra line break won't work either.
