remove bullets in Mail

Could someone tell me how to remove a list (be it a numbered list or a bulletted list) from Mail?

I know how to stop the numbering (hit return twice) but to remove the list entirely... no idea! I've tried reducing indent etc. but without success. Control shift return simply adds a carriage return without reducing the indent.

All thoughts gratefully received. I've searched on-line and in the forums but with no success.

Thanks in advance!

Proof Apple is going Microsoft. Apple is ignoring their quality interface design roots, and is ignoring their users. The age of this issue, how it's resistance spans multiple OS upgrades, are further proof and reason why my next pc will be a PC.

My solution is,

to <CUT> entire line except final space - the invisible <cr> character.
delete rest of line
<PASTE> on a non-bulletted line.

Poop! Even this dialog box has the feature we're asking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first tried this, it did not seem to work. Then I saw the "select the whole line" and with that, it does work. As others have pointed out, this is critical, as in Edwards "tripple (sic) clicking" to force the selection of the whole line.
