If so, I'm inclined to call it a bug in the Microsoft Office-generated 
HTML.

The entire purpose of the   entity is to be explicitly represented 
as white space. Microsoft Word, for whatever reason, has included an 
additional blank paragraph between the salutation and the first 
paragraph of the body. So MailMate appears to be respecting the HTML 
correctly and inserting that paragraph.

The correct HTML for what you want would resemble:

```
<p>John,</p>
<p>I have searched through m...</p>
```
