Re: [PLUG] Thunderbird questions

Alan,

Looks good!  Came through with bold, italics, big font, exactly as
you described.

Be aware though that people on this list seem to pretty strongly
prefer plain text emails.  I've heard some say that they even filter
their email, auto-deleting any HTML-formatted emails.  Personally,
I don't care, but I try to always remember to tell TBird to format
as plain text when sending to this list.

Here's the answer to your question about double spacing:
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1120795

Diacritical marks are going to be a Unicode thing, like umlauts,
etc.  Whatever technique you use to type them into any app on
your Linux box, it should work the same for TBird.
