This is a well known issue with emails generated by Microsoft products  
such as Outlook. You can search the archives but the bottom line is  
it's a combination of the Outlook namespaced elements like e.g.,  
<o:p></o:p> and linting code that keeps things clean and more secure  
for viewing in-line in a web browser.
