[QUOTE="CBEtravel, post: 1190092, member: 193146"] [b]Double spacing demon solved[/b] I agree, this is truly an ANNOYING problem in Mac Mail. The soft return is your best trick... press control+return.. i use it religiously. I experience the text spacing problem when I cut and paste from say an internet web page or somewhere where there is rich text formatting... and then change the text of other lines. Then when I change my mind again about what to say and hit (return) the annoying double space demon appears. There is a feature in Mac Mail called "Substitutions" with a setting of "smart copy/paste". I bring up the menu by right+click. Look under Substitutions. So when you copy rich text from somewhere and paste it into a Mac Mail message, it keeps the HTML tags I assume. Say I paste an H2 tag Well when you delete text in Mac Mail it doesn't always delete the formatting of that line. So even though your text LOOKS like it is 12pt Helvetica Regular, there is a phantom BOLD H2 tag there. So say you hit backspace when you make a manual bulleted list -like -this -one it will change to this on you when you hit the backspace/delete button. -like -this[B][SIZE="5"]-one[/SIZE][/B] This can be solved by reformatting the [B][SIZE="5"]-one[/SIZE][/B] back to -one and then holding down CONTROL and hitting return. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
