Many messages contain strange characters that replace symbols such as quotation marks, apostrophes, etc. What can I do to eliminate these characters?

View menu (alt+V) > text encoding > probably set to UTF-8 but try western and latin if utf does not work.

There is no UTF-8 or latin listed. It is set as Western. Is there some way I can get additional listings?

Thanks for the translation of UTF-8 = Unicode. So I changed character encoding to Unicode, and I'm still getting strange characters that replace sumbols such as -, ', ", etc. Anybody have an alternate solution?

Can you post an image showing the strange characters?

I'm sorry. I can't understand your instructions. I've examined all the menus and can't find anything called "Other Actions."

If I press Ctrl U for Message Source, I find: Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Does this help? KWK

Here is an example of the strange characters: Events - Aqua            Private Events - Green Cruises - Violet          Special Notices - Bright Yellow Meetings - Pink         Cleaning of Club - Light Yellow

You supplied the message Source info of the email you received from Mozilla support forum. Did that email have strange characters?

I need to see the Ctrl U for Message Source of the email you received which has contents: Events - Aqua            Private Events - Green

I also need this info: Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab or Menu icon > Options > Options > Display > Formatting tab

I tried to capture the other info you wanted with my screen capture program, but it won't paste to this message window.

You need to use the 'Print screen' key to capture. Then paste into an image program like 'Paint' Save as filename: eg: encoding.jpg then in this forum Enter some text in the Reply box eg: Here is image click on the 'Browse' button locate the saved jpg file and click on 'Open'

the image below shows my selections.

Okay, I have 3 images to send you: Image #1 below

Matt: Could the following meta tag be causing it to not display correctly?

I notice, the line supplied says: <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">

but I was expecting to see this arrangement: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >


kklarin Does the information display correctly if you use Plain Text: 'View' > 'Message Body as' > 'Plain Text'

Is this a problem in several or all of incomming mail or just emails from that sender?

The message does seem to display properly as plain text; i.e., no strange characters.

The problems occur in messages from many different senders.

his does not cause issues

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed

Nor does

Both of which I extracted from my TB support crew mails.

It is also worth noting that the HTML5 does not use the http-equiv Attribute to set the character set of a HTTP page.

While there was a bug in the TB 17 era, around the order of elements in the http-equiv Attribute it was fixed. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594646 But there is nothing to say it could not be a regression.
