While creating an email when I click any of these four buttons (image attached), nothing happens. I also attempted using HTML code to produce the list but it did nothing.

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

P.S. I'm using Mac OSX

if I open a mail compse windows and type "one" on a line and click the first two buttons immediately the text displayed changed. Obviously the other two will do nothing with out a whole paragraph of text to work with.

Have you tried restarting in Safe mode? Hold the shift key when clicking to start Thunderbird and continue in safe mode when prompted.

Thank you Matt, I did input text before trying to make a list and changing the indenting but it did not work. After your suggestion I did open Thunderbird in Safe mode and tried the same tests but it did not change the outcome.

Dear Matt,

Thank you for replying. As I mentioned I did enter Safe Mode, however, this did not solve the issue nor produced any different results.

Thanks in advance for any further help.

Best regards,

Rogelio
