Outlook fowarded messages add line breaks after every row #308

Using just a basic template like so:

<container>
 <row>
    <columns large="4">
      abc
    </columns>
    <columns large="4">
      def
    </columns>
    <columns large="4">
      ghi
    </columns>
  </row>
  <row>
    <columns>
      123
    </columns>
    <columns>
      456
    </columns>
    <columns>
      789
    </columns>
  </row>
<container>

This produces fine in Outlook on the first send, but Outlook is added a paragraph element between every table. This is no effect on the layout/appearance because the display is set to none.

Content Added by Outlook in Original Message:
<P class=MsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.25pt"><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Helvetica",sans-serif; COLOR: #0a0a0a; **DISPLAY: none**'><?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P>

If the message if forwarded, Outlook is changing each paragraph line between every table.

Forwarded Message:
<P class=MsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.25pt"><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; COLOR: #0a0a0a'><?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P>

It is dropping the DISPLAY: none. This causes the spacing to expand in any forwarded message.

This is true in Outlook 2010 and 2013.

Am I using Inky correctly? Is there any known hack to get around this problem?

Other than this issue - Inky + foundation for emails is amazing.
