Change line spacing

Open

New Feature

rick_clark

change the line spacing when composing an email. Meaning, select the text and choose a 1.15x, 1.5x or 2x line spacing or add spacing before or after paragraphs.
Being able to have some extra spacing after a paragraph really helps with readability, especially when the last sentence of the paragraph ends near the edge of the page. without the extra space it looks like it’s a continuation of the same paragraph, but a double return is too much space. Also, when I copy and paste text from a source with a different line spacing it respects the old line spacing but I don't have a way to change it to match the new line spacing unless I remove all of the formatting and start again. Below are screenshots I borrowed from user Robio that helps to demonstrate why it's important.

I couldn't see my screenshots added by @rick_clark, so I'm adding them myself. This is more than a feature request. The current UI is so crowded that letters with tails on one line overlap with accents on characters in the next. It's bad UI design that needs fixing.

Yes please, this function is something we are really missing. Would be great to add this to eM Client!

Jumping back in this thread to point out another reason why the current line spacing is problematic: When you add an emoji, it changes the line spacing for that line only. Emojis are a fact of life in email, their use shouldn't cause layout issues.

Hi there - just adding to the trail...I recently joined the eM Client community and enjoying overall the software on my Windows PC....gladly replacing Outlook which as limiting my mailbox size to 50GB.....The Line Spacing in composing emails is indeed much needed (all other formatting options work great but this is really lacking...not sure why). Thanks
