OL-2007: E-mail composition - default style

[thricipio]

I'm transitioning from OL-2000 to 2007 and am bumping up against a few
things. Here's one . . .

When I go to compose a new e-mail message, I find that when I press the
(Enter)-key to create a new line, OL automatically skips a space... which I
don't like and I'm trying to find a way to *not* have this happen.

I tried going into the "Normal" Style and I modified that to use the font I
like (Verdana) and to not insert extra line spacing between paragraphs, etc.
And the changes I made (to the Normal style) work fine, *if* I swipe the text
and apply the style. Problem is, I don't want to have to go through that
extra step. I just want the editor to behave that way (Verdana, no extra
line spacing, etc.) as the default.

I'm sure there must be a way to do this, but can't seem to find it by poking
around and reading the Help info, etc. If anyone can point me in the right
direction, that'd be great and much appreciated.

BTW, FWIW, I'm finding OL-2007 worth the learning curve effort. I like it a
lot. Takes a bit getting used to (coming from 2000) but it's definitely
worth the effort.

Thanks ahead of time.
