Pasting double spaced document into gmail.

When I try and paste a double-spaced document into email, it reverts to single space. Is there anyway to fix the issue?

If you want to retain document formatting, attach the document to the email rather than pasting it into the email. Pasting content into an email results in the content being formatted according to the email settings.

Unfortunately the recipient of my email does not accept attachments.

Then paste the document and it will lose its formatting. If the recipient wants to receive formatted documents they need to accept attachments. Mail is not a word processor.

Okay. I appreciate your help. I pasted the document into the email and explained the reason why it’s not double spaced.

This person is a literary agent and her submission request requires the sample manuscript to be double spaced.

I can not imagine a recipient who specifies the formatting of a document to not accept attachments. In fact, I would expect such a recipient to specify the attachment be PDF or some other specified format so that formatting not be changed/lost by specific apps used to create/read the document. Are you certain the recipient won't accept attachments yet specifies a specific format?
