Sudden problems with character
Not mine I'm happy to say. It's my Yahoo account. Suddenly all Swedish characters åäö becomes ��������� when it arrives to me or the reciever. Not so with my Google account though. They have the same settings in general. I have not changed any settings what so ever for the account. Anybody know if this is at Yahoo, some Windows 10 update or I'm just stupid? It's probably something very simple...

check the mime data and see if the text encoding is set to unicode. I would not put it past the folk at yahoo to change the text encoding because they know better, or their spam engine only understand ascii text.
Well, a bit over my head but I found this in connection with MIME:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Or should I look for something else?
Update on this: It seems that I only have the problem in Thunderbird with the Yahoo account. If I send a mail from my smartphone with the mailapp that is connected to the Yahoo account I do not have this problem.
