  Simon,
I hear what you are saying.
Mea culpa.
You were correct that the browser was the problem. I checked it in Firefox
and there is no space between the body text and the attachment.
I have shared a screen grab of my google version.

I'm using Groupware 5.2.6
Imp H5 (6.2.8)
Winodws 10 Updated today
Regards
