Option to switch off superscript (^) display for plain text messages, so that git revs are displayed correctly

I'm on Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32-bit). I have the 'use fixed width font for plain text messages' set (in Options, Display, Fonts & Colours; Advanced).

I'm on a number of Git mailing lists which use plain text and option have Git revisions e.g. HEAD^1 which, unfortunately is then displayed as a superscript, rather than as originally intended. This makes for 'eye strain' when they turn up.

Is there an option to switch this off?

I'm quite happy with the bold/italic (**) and underlining (_) and the quotation (> >) display effects, but this one (the caret ^ superscript) is a bit too much.

Any good suggestions?

I can't see the issues in your image. Is this the one you intended to post?

However, try this:

Hi Zenos, Thanks for the link. Yes the attachment was bogus (a left over from a prior question).

I tried the suggestion > Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General > and to the right of "Advanced Configuration", click the > button labelled "Config editor". > > Scroll down to find the preference named "converter.html2txt.structs" > and double-click it to change its value to false.

But unfortunately it didn't change anything (I closed and re-opened TB via the X button).

an example of a defectively displayed message is https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGZ79kbAmt9qxcoo+hhcZzcGxQ3AxhMLdzmX3ZfL1GzvEBZb2w@mail.gmail.com/ where the v1.7.10-rc1~14^2~2 is malformed on display as a 'raised to the power 2' with the '^' removed.

I'm happy with the bold and italic highlighting, as no characters are lost, but the change of font size and loss of characters for the superscript is meh.

Any ideas on where I should look for the 'display plain text messages as plain text' configurations?

Thanks again for the initial pointers.
