Hi there
I am putting an HTML email together and have a paragraph tag that has the following CSS
margin:0; padding:0; margin-bottom:0; font-size:18px; color:#6CACDF; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
However when I send this to Hotmail it decides it wants to add its own margin of
margin: 0 0 1.35em 0;
Can anyone help with this please before it drives me mad.

I'm assuming you only have one paragraph of text, hence the reason for not needing space below it. Can you try to apply margin-top: -1.35em to the element below or just use a different element that Hotmail may not tamper with?

I think I sorted it by using a combination of nesting further tables and removing the p tags as and wrapping then in a span. Don't we just love HTML emails.
