Hi! After importing a ton of email from Outlook Express into Thunderbird, my friend noticed something odd when replying to one of the old Outlook Express imported messages. He's running Thunderbird 38.5.0 on Windows XP and the character encoding settings are the default Thunderbird settings. Outgoing mail is encoded as UTF-8 and incoming mail is encoded as Western (ISO-8859-1). Messages he reads are displayed with "Western" encoding. Cool.
When replying to a message originally received by Outlook Express, his sent message contains strange characters in it. Here's an example:
Code: Select all
Hello again.� Weather looks great.� I am looking forward to going outside.
Looking at the message to which he responded, I found the message is encoded as Windows-1252.
My question: is there any way for him to respond to his old Outlook Express e-mail, which is encoded as Windows-1252, such that the strange symbols don't appear, as shown above?
Thanks in advance!
