If you have set an align attribute in an image to right or left, Thunderbird will add a 3 pixel margin these images.
When using align=”right” Thunderbird will add a 3px margin to the left of the image, where using align=”left” Thunderbird adds a 3ps margin to the right of the image.
To fix this issue, you can either remove the align attribute or using CSS add margin:0; to each image with an align attribute.

Thanks, David. In Method 1, when I right click on the inserted image, there is no Image Properties option in the menu that opens. In Method 2, I have no idea how to find the image tag. If I click on the image and then Insert > HTML and insert the HTML code in your example after the existing HTML code nothing happens. If I replace the existing HTML code with the code in your example the image disappears altogether and your code is displayed. Your further assistance will be appreciated.
Hello Groucho,
Thank you for your feedback. Could you please let me know which version of Thunderbird you’re currently using?
Kind regards,
David
