Thunderbird - A blank at the beginning of a paragraph and sometimes blanks in the middle show as ??

more options

When someone receives an email from me, some blanks are translated into ?? (not all) I do not see them on the sent mail, but if the receiver replies I see them in the original text. This has started only in the last week. I am on Windows 10 - not sure of Thunderbird level.

Double-click the preference to change it to true, or right-click, Toggle. If you don't see the value column, perhaps you have it hidden (see picture).

Thanks. I tried that after reading a previous post - when doing the above, it shows for mail.strictly_mime a status of default and type boolean seems to be no way to change "false"
