Text entry - how to prevent extra spacing with lists
When entering lists (numbered or unnumbered) or indenting, Thunderbird inserts extra space - a blank line - before and after the list or indented text. How do I prevent this?

You could edit the HTML source of the message.

But is it possible – through userChrome.css or any other way, to change all default formatting of messages?

You could style the text in the compose window using the userContent.css file, but the recipient won't see the changes.

I tested a bulleted list in the compose window. The spacing looks normal.
You can use an inline style to change the spacing.
JSFiddle examples

Gmail and other webmail interfaces may strip out the inline style.
The <ul> element has a top and bottom margin of 16px and a padding-left of 40px by default.
