How can I change the character set?

In Spanish we use accents in vocals and one more letter "ñ". When I receive some mails, and when I export my calendar to .csv, these characters are converted into odd combinations of letters-symbols.

I understand it is because of the "Character Set" but have been unable to change it.

1. How can I select the proper Character Set? 2. How can I change it?

Thank you very much.

The proper character set would be unicode and it is my understanding that Thunderbird uses it by default. Unless it is set differently on the PC.
