What I usually do is pull the mail folder from users/user/lib/mail and stick that on my desktop then go and delete the com.apple.mail prefs in users/user/lib/prefs

open mail up recreate the account and then import the mail off my desktop

Though i know you tried something similar would be strange if it still did it after that

Hi Bob,

I have never experienced this.
The only other thing I can think for you to check is in Mail - under Format > Style ---- Styles - click Favorite Styles,
do you have Default "Left aligned, Spacing 1.0x"?

Definitely sounds like something wrong in your User Account settings.
You don't experience double line spacing in any other Apple Application, TextEdit for example, do you?

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Bob,

In Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors, do you have ticked "Use fixed-width font for plain text messages?

Thanks Ronni , but no !

I have compared all Mail preferences with Mail on another Mac
and they are identical !  The other is AOK this one faulty .

Also as I said , I strated another User and it was OK , preferences also identical .

I must have a damaged file somewhere in the specific USER .

I am going to look at hidden files for a possible culprit .

PROBLEM
The lines are massively spaced apart

The content below shows as normal with line after line

I have tried removing all Mail content in the User- Library
and Preferences  apple.com.mail.plist

and then restarting and recreating Mail accounts , but still with the same problem


Suggestions Please ! ?

Thanks

Bob

That is apart from deleting that user and creating a new User
