When I receive an email with double line spacing I can't find a way to alter this to single line spacing. I'd like to be able to change from one to the other at will. M

If the message was sent in HTML format, you can click view>message body as>plain text. Otherwise, Thunderbird does not change incomng messages.

Thank you James and David for your help. This is the first time I've used the Community Forum. It won't be the last as I'm not in the least *techie* but it's good to know help is there when I need it. With warm regards. Clara

Someone previously mentioned using "Shift-Enter." That seems to work when responding to a message, but is inconvenient. There must be a better way!

If you send HTML messages, click settings>composition and UNtick the option for paragraph mode.
