Just 'upgraded' to Thunderbird 60.3.0 ! I always change format the 'body text' instead of the default 'paragraph' (why can't I have this as default?)! Now when I write an email, having set format to 'body text' write a message, then edit the message, hit return. It reverts to 'paragraph' format with double line space! In the previous version - yesterday! It did not do this! It is a pain, I do not want it to do this! Is it something I can control locally? Or is this a bug!!!! How can this be fixed? Thanks

Default Options settings:

  • 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > ' Options' > 'Composition' > 'General' tab
  • uncheck the checkbox 'Use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default'
  • click on 'OK

Exit and restart Thunderbird'
