Thunderbird editor line spacing

rousea replied

I have a rather intriguing issue with the message editor which isn't a problem but puzzles me.

I monitor a number of email accounts. When compiling a message using one particular sending account the line spacing in the editor is reduced, as in the second attached image. If I use any of the other accounts it is correct, as in the first image . In each case the line spacing of the message that is actually sent is correct.

It's obviously not a big issue, but I'm struggling to understand how the editor can change depending on the sender account. Any ideas?

I am seeing quoted text. and original text

Quoted text tends to follow the cascading style sheet (CSS) of the new email for quoted text and the other the CSS of the new email (either as defined as body or paragraph). If I had to guess, I would punt on the Signature file having been created in Microsoft Word and introducing a vastly complex CSS environment from which almost anything can emerge.

The difference may be in line spacing or other layout items. If you send me the signature file as an email I will have a look and offer a suggestion on either better HTML, or at least a cause.

Thanks, Matt. I've sent you an email
