VBA Creating Outlook email, simple line feed in string to avoid paragraph double spacing?

Hello again.

I have excel creating an Outlook email for me, but Outlook is being difficult in that it defaults to automatically double spacing lines with paragraph formatting when any type of line break I am familiar with is entered.
This applies to vblf, vbcrlf, and vbnewline. It looks like the following:

Words and stuff (line break)

second line.

When manually typing something in outlook, I can achieve a simple, single line feed with shift+enter to achieve this:

Words and stuff (line break)
second line.

Is there some equivalent thing in VBA that can achieve this?

WBD

I was trying to avoid reconfiguring this to use HTML, but it seems I may need to bite the bullet anyways for a few reasons.
