Mailspring: <p>-Tags (Outlook) have margin/padding, but shouldn't

Nope

MacOS

No

Is the issue related to a specific email provider (Gmail, Exchange, etc.)?

Margin/Padding is fine with <div>, but messed up with <p> tags. Unfortunately Outlook seems to use <p> instead of <div> for new paragraphs. In Gmail this renders just fine.

Based on https://www.emailonacid.com/blog/article/email-development/paragraphs_in_html_email, I think it's safe to remove the default margin/padding from <p> tags all the time (it's what Yahoo mail does already.)

Hey folks—the fix for this has been shipped in 1.1.2. The app will auto-update in the next few hours, or you can download the new version directly from https://getmailspring.com/download. Enjoy!

Why is Yahoo's behavior being taken into consideration? It represents 5% of the market. In the meanwhile, the giants, Gmail + Apple + Outlook = ~86% of the market, have margin around paragraphs, the way it's supposed to be. Market share source.
