I am trying to set my encoding to "Unicode" to eliminate an annoying problem with symbols in some emails. "Unicode" will eliminate them. but "Western introduces them. The problem is that I cannot set the encoding to "Unicode" & have it remain there. As soon as an email with symbols is displayed the encoding reverts to "Western." How can I make the encoding permanent?
I posted this problem in February & Tanstaafl tried unsuccessfully to help. I just took a second look at that thread & the first suggestion Tanstaafl made was to check the encoding but at that time I didn't notice the encoding flip. I just saw the symbols were still there. (because as soon as I selected the email it flipped the encodings). This time I changed the encoding from within the message & saw the symbols immediately disappear. A real aha moment.
