When a user sends a message to our community via email, using Outlook, unwanted line feeds are being inserted.  
For example, the user sends:

```
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"font-size:16.0pt;font-family:&quot;Ti=
mes New Roman&quot;,serif;color:#002060">The Fair Defense Act requires atto=
rneys seeking appointments for juvenile delinquency cases to have averaged =
twelve (12) hours a year of continuing legal education
 courses or other training relating specifically to juvenile law.&nbsp; Thi=
s seminar will satisfy the required annual 12 hours of CLE if you do not al=
ready have them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

```

and Discourse inserts a `<br>` between `education` and ` courses.`

Or the user sends:

```
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"font-size:16.0pt;font-family:&quot;Ti=
mes New Roman&quot;,serif;color:#002060">If you
<i>are</i> a member of TCDLA, you can register here:&nbsp; </span><b><span =
style=3D"font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;col=
or:red"><a href=3D"[URL]><span style=3D"color:red">Click here
 to register on TCDLA</span></a></span></b><span style=3D"font-size:16.0pt;=
font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;color:#002060"><o:p></o:p></s=
pan></p>

```

and Discourse inserts a `<br>` between `you` and `<i>are</i>`

When I send the same message from Fastmail, I don’t get the same result. So I’m willing to blame this on Outlook, but before I do, is this a Discourse bug?
