No not really unfortunately. Clients can choose to format messages any way they want to. Most email clients use HTML so any line breaks can be interpreted as explicit breaks in HTML.
The best way to ensure it works properly in most email clients is to forestall the plain text -> HTML conversion and send HTML. If you write out HTML all HTML clients will use that mostly as is.
If you are using plain text, I recommend making all line breaks CHR(13)'s only (rather than CRLF) which can also minimize space issues. FWIW, when I send plain text messages to Hotmail, they seem to turn out just fine.

When sending HTML formatted emails using wwIPStuff:SendMail, I'm seeing some odd inconsistencies in how lines are spaced between various email clients. Line spacing looks correct in Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo. However, in Hotmail the lines look like they're double spaced and in AOL they look triple spaced. Is there a standardized way to specify line spacing in a way that yields more consistent results across various web clients?
