It may well be that unless you write a post that uses UTF-8 encoding, Thunderbird will use the lowest common denominator. Lots of mail clients behave that way. e.g. No matter what charset you set as your preferred default, if your message is contained within the US-ASCII repertoire, then it'll be sent as US-ASCII. And if you include some characters beyond it, it may use an intermediate charset, if using UTF-8 isn't essential. > I think that header causes Latin-Extended to show up as blobs with a ? > inside; here's one: ยข Should be a US cent sign. I saw a cent sign. The other thing to consider is how you're testing it. Are you looking at the saved sent posts, or at a mail that has gone out through a server and come back again? A server may transcode a message as it goes through it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
