Cyrillic is received as ??? (Linux)

Post by ismanpa »

Hello,

After a re-unstallation of Manjaro Linux, my respondents complain taht they receive emails witg ??? instead of Cyrillic. I have not done anything different from previous settings in Thunderbird.

The outbox displays the chacters corrrectly, though.

Thank you in advance.

Edit > Preferences > Display > Afvanced > both outfoing and incoming mail set to UTF 8 (so far) resolved the issue.

The problem is not solved. The above solution worked for a while and then suddenly, without any interference on my part, the recipients again receive ???

I have tried it on Linux Mint. Ubuntu, Windows 8.1 with a past version on the latest, Seamonkey - to no avail. This eliminates my mistakes, I think.

Thank you very much indeed! I have found this solution, but I looked for the wrong place of the Advanced tab. I looked in Edit > Preferences > Display :(
