How do you control line spacing in emails?

How do you control the line spacing (leading) in emails?

I have Mac Mail configured to compose new messages as Plain Text, which are always single-spaced. Yet if I am replying to a message and have included a paragraph form the original, it sometimes comes in as double-spaced.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change it to singe-spacing. Searching Mac Help for "Line Spacing," "double space," and "leading" all result in "No pages with your search words were found."

Also, quoted text (from reply emails) will often rewrap with hard returns after every line, even though the orignal did not have returns after every line. Is there any way to fix that?

RANT: I used to use Entourage, which synced nicely with my Palm, had a built-in news-group reader, and had excellent control over text-formatting, integrated Calendar, Notes, ToDos and synced nicely with my Palm. I switched to Apple 'cause MS stopped supporting Entourage and I don't like MS's business practices.

Oh, and iCal? Sometimes when I create a new event, it takes sometimes 20 or 30 seconds for the cursor to become active so I can type in a subject. It's as slow as molassas in January. And it takes forever to sync with my Palm.

Sometimes I feel like I got a pretty interface in exchange for functionality.
