Disable text resizing of HTML mail in Outlook.com

Question

I'm struggling to disable the automatic text/font formatting that Outlook.com applies to HTML e-mails.

I have tried using:

-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;-moz-text-size-adjust:none;text-size-adjust:none;

and then, just:

-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;

as an inline style on all paragraph blocks but unfortunately it is not being recognised by outlook.

This particular newsletter is fairly tight in terms of layout with little solid colour or spacing to accommodate the formatting Outlook is insisting on.

The full text block is:

<p style="font-family:arial, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:14px; padding-left: 10px;padding-right:10px; -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;-moz-text-size-adjust:none;text-size-adjust:none;">Hi $$first_name$$</p>
       <p style="font-family:arial, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:14px; padding-left: 10px;padding-right:10px; -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;-moz-text-size-adjust:none;text-size-adjust:none;">

        </tr></tbody></table>

       <p style="font-family:arial, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:14px; padding-left: 10px;padding-right:10px; -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;-moz-text-size-adjust:none;text-size-adjust:none;">See you later,</p>
       <p style="font-family:arial, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:14px; padding-left: 10px;padding-right:10px; -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;-moz-text-size-adjust:none;text-size-adjust:none;">The $$site_name$$ Team.</p>

Any help would be appreciated.

I had a similar problem, with Outlook itself, not the online service. I ended up not using <p>-tags at all. All content went into table cells (<td>s) instead.
