Unable to set specific outgoing mail encoding
Hello, I am unable to set outgoing email encoding to ISO-8859-2 although my incoming email encoding can be set to this value. How can I set the outgoing email encoding to ISO-8859-2? And why don't I have the same selection under outgoing email as in the incoming email?
Chosen solution
That is an ANSI character set. Thunderbird and email in general now use UNICODE
The incoming is a legacy thing because there are still some folk out there who have not heard of the change and insist on using their copy of email software that was current a decade ago. Like the Eudora fan club among others.
The incoming is rarely used, preference is given to the codepage declared in the email itself
