I have a very similar problem as Mark -- here's my situation:

There are no visible blank lines between the spaced paragraphs that I can see in Sigil:

Code:
  <p class="normal">It was Sarah who gave Emily her first information about sex. They were eating orange popsicles and fooling around a broken hammock in the yard of their house in Larchmont, New York – that was one of the other suburban towns they lived in after Tenafly – and as Emily listened her mind filled with confused and troubling images.</p>

  <p class="bodytext">‘And you mean they put it up in<i>side</i> you?’</p>

  <p class="bodytext">‘Yup. All the way. And it hurts.’</p>

  <p class="bodytext">‘What if it doesn’t fit?’</p>

  <p class="bodytext">‘Oh, it fits. They make it fit.’</p>
The first paragraph with <p class="normal"> is the noindent -- the others below are the following paragraphs. No breaks that I'm aware of.

Here's the bodytext from the stylesheet.css:

Quote:
.bodytext
{
font-family:"Times New Roman", serif;
font-size:small;
margin-top:0.25em;
margin-bottom:0.25em;
text-align:justify;
text-indent:1.5em;
The "Normal" one is the same, except of course that the text-indent is set to 0em.

I'm not a Sigil or Calibre "Power User" to know how to remedy this situation to either 1) remove the spaces in the ePub before converting to Mobi -- or 2) remove the spaces diring a Calibre mobi conversion while preserving the noindent format.
