Alan,

I still think you should look into the solution I suggested.  It worked
for me, to solve exactly the problem you describe.
         But you are not running TB from Linux, are you?

Are you really unable to find ANY user-settable options in TBird?
They're all on the same options page. 
         You've told me this twice before.  And I've told you twice before
         that I can find nothing like what you've described.  I have tried,
         using the ImageMagick import function, to record a picture of what
         I see when I click on the upper RH corner menu icon, but when I
         go to a terminal window to activate the import app, the stuff on the
         menu icon disappears.  Have you other suggestions as to how I can
         convince you that 'Options' isn't there?



 I suggest you give up on
asking TBird support, TBird planning, or anyone else for the solution
to the double-spacing problem.
         I accept your suggestion.  I had hoped that _someone_ on Plug was
         running TB on Linux, but that seems not to be the case.



Focus on the problem that's keeping you from finding the options
page.  Once you get past that obstacle, you can proceed to follow
the steps I gave you:
         "Once you've climbed the 15-foot wall, in bare feet, with your
         hands tied behind your back, the rest of the road is easy."<G>

I would give up on TB, except that it does succeed in copying my mail to 
a directory deep under ~/.thunderbird, which makes it worth struggling with.
But there are alternatives; does anyone hear know anything about 'evolution'?




Hope this helps!
      You're a good soul, Fred.  I don't understand why you are on Plug, when you don't
      use Linux!

Best wishes to all,

Alan
