I corroborate Steven's findings, that Ethan's post was correctly encoded & displayed. > (although, boo to Thunderbird for using a legacy encoding instead > of UTF-8). So his post is fine. Whatever the problem is, it's at > your end. Thunderbird does offer the ability to change default character encodings (Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Formatting tab -> Advanced...) for sending and receiving, but you have to go out of your way to change them to something like UTF-8. On the same preferences screen TB provides the option to "when possible, use the default character encoding in replies". -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
