I am working on a Mac with OS Mojave 10.14.6. I am gettting odd characters popping up beside the apostrophe and pound signs amongst others. I can change the unicode from Western to Unicode (View/encode) which will give me the correct text for that email, but it only works for that email and, if I reboot Thunderbird, it defaults back to Western and the odd characters again. How do I get it to stay on Unicode for all emails? My tech guy has also tried but to no avail!!
