how to increase horizontal spacing between lines the sender from attachment date ect...
I would like to increase the line spacing (horizontal spacing) between the sender from subject date .... area.
I find everything is a bit too close to each other and I get a text overload. I have tried reducing the font size but that is not what I am after. I basically want to double the current spacing.
From this :
sender subject date attachment xxxx xxxx xxxx x xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx x
To this:
sender subject date attachment xxxx xxxx xxxx x
xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx x
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you.
Will

Hi. You seem to have asked this question twice only a few minutes apart. please keep all responses in this question to maintain continuity of conversation: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1109280
The following may seem a bit daunting at first, but it is really only creating folders, copy pasting and saving a file as per instructions, so a lot easier than it may initially seem.
Make hidden files and folders visible:
In Thunderbird
- Help > Troubleshooting Information
- Click on 'Show folder' button
a new window opens showing the contents of your profile folder name. you will typically see the 'Mail' folder amongst a load of other folders and files.
- Close Thunderbird now - this is important
- Create a new folder called chrome - note the spelling
It should be in the profile folder name; same place as the 'Mail' folder. See first image below.
- Open 'Notepad' - usually located in Program files > Accessories > Notepad
- Copy everything between the two lines below and paste into Notepad. Save the file as userChrome.css - note the spelling - in the chrome folder.
note: this line: height: 40px !important; You can modify the 40px to suit, eg: 25 or 30 or 50 Thunderbird must be closed when doing any modifications to this file.
Start Thunderbird.
/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/
@namespace url
("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/*
#threadTree treechildren:-moz-tree-row
{
height: 40px !important;
}
I will close this thread as the duplicate and leave open the other thread.
