I'm getting a lot of crashes when I try to reply. I'm starting to think this may be due to folder default test being western ISO 8859-1. I switched it to western (windows-1252). When I did that, one email that would crash instantly on trying to reply, did not and properlyt displayed the editing window.

The other issue which is focus of this post is signature text. No matter where I place it be in the signature text box within account settings or in a separate file, it displays all garbled (bunch of boxes) in the reply to an email. What I noticed is the style attached to the signature test is PreFormat and where the cursor is positioned for the reply the style is set to paragraph.

IF is adjust the signature line that is all garbled to style paragraph, then the correct text appears.

SO how does one get the the settings for style PreFormat and fix it?

Sounds like you having issues with fonts, not styles, although fonts can be defined in styles.

How did you create your signatures HTML? I bet it was not with the Thunderbird composer / Email editor.

Why are you using western anything for email? The default should be unicode, that is the international default for email. Western is about a decade into the past and really only offered so emails created with legacy products like Outlook Express can be displayed.

The boxes indicate that your signature may well also contain a non Unicode font. Really I do think I will see Microsoft Office in this some where.
