If you do a Google search on that option, you'll find lots of moans about it ... especially the fact that it's enabled by default. It's a difficult call. I keep it turned on at work (which is the only place I use Outlook) and have almost no problems with it. In fact, I usually like it when it joins lines from plain text messages, because it gives a more natural flow to the messages on the screen. However, I can see where a list of things, separated by a single Return, would be a problem. Consider a reformat of your message so that it's compatible with this option ... paragraphs separated by two Returns, lists on adjoining lines indented by a couple of spaces ... would probably do it.
