Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but I just run into the same 
issue. For users receiving HTML mails from Outlook (I only tested 
Outlook 2013), the HTML generated by it, looks something like this:

<p>Lorem ipsum<o:p></o:p></p>

which CKEditor converts to

<p>Lorem ipsum<p> </p></p>

which results in the double space issue[0]. While researching I came 
across CKEditor's "pastefromword" plugin. It contains some functions to 
take care of this mess, I'll see if I can write a patch to filter this crap.

Kind regards,

Jens Pranaitis
