Thunderbird Community Forum

Hello,

This would have been a reply to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1390397?utm_source=chatgpt.com which is one of the top google results for "Thunderbird make font fixed length addon"

Some html text is hard to read, I would like a button, to make it all one more readable font. (font override toggle button to variable lenth font) and a button to make it a fixed length font (font override toggle button to fixed lenth font) Maybe a button to also strip formatting like bold/italic/coloring etc..

The solution

Preferences > General > Language & Appearance > Fonts & Colors > Default font > Advanced > Font Control > Use fixed width font for plain text

Which is too deep into the setting to casually flip for one message and then bring back to normal. I don't want this forever, just when there's one hard to read email.

The summary says it - How do I make Thunderbird automatically close the 'original' message when I click Reply or Forward?

Outlook does this, and I find it odd that Thunderbird does not have a toggle for this. I find that I end up the day having to close out a dozen or so 'original' messages...

Please tell me there is a switch somewhere! :)

I returned to London from Singapore on Tuesday 28/4. Today (4 May) I noticed that all my emails show Singapore time (BST+7) in the Inbox display in Thunderbird on my Windows laptop although the time shown for emails is correct on my mobile (iPhone).

I checked calendar in Thunderbird settings and it's set to "Use system timezone" but the time on my laptop clock is correct. The time zone in my Windows setting is also correct (London).

When I open an email it shows the correct time.

Any thoughts?
