I've encountered this, despite updated everything, including Word from Office 2008. VERY frustrating problem.
Here's my fix: Paste first into a text edit doc, then copy and paste again into Mail.
This seems to work. But we shouldn't have to do that!
Alternative fix: Replace the Mac with a new PC, and give up on the idea that Apple cares about anything else but making money.

Problem when pasting text from Word into Mail
29-Nov-09
When I copy and paste text from Word 2004 into Apple Mail, Mai
doubles the line returns. In other words, if in Word there is
single return (my intent is to start a new line immediately below th
previous one) in mail the pasted text will show a double return (i
double spacing)
This had previously happened to me when I was running Panther; after
queried on this board someone suggested that I use shift-option
command-v to paste, and this solved the problem. A few weeks ago
bought a new Mac Mini running Snow Leapard. Now the problem ha
returned, and using shift-option-command-v does not solve it
Word itself appears to be functioning fine. Everything displays an
prints properly, and when I turn on show formatting the retur
(paragraph) marks are in the proper place, and in the proper number
Any advice appreciated!

Hi Zack:it is likely that Mail does not import all of Word's paragraph
Hi Zack
it is likely that Mail does not import all of Word's paragraph formattin
properties
When I paste from Word into Mail, the paragraph spacing does not agree wit
the paragraph spacing assigned in Word
If you want to preserve the formatting, you will need to send as a
attachment in either Word or PDF
