Hello, I am unable to set outgoing email encoding to ISO-8859-2 although my incoming email encoding can be set to this value. How can I set the outgoing email encoding to ISO-8859-2? And why don't I have the same selection under outgoing email as in the incoming email?

That is an ANSI character set. Thunderbird and email in general now use UNICODE

The incoming is a legacy thing because there are still some folk out there who have not heard of the change and insist on using their copy of email software that was current a decade ago. Like the Eudora fan club among others.

The incoming is rarely used, preference is given to the codepage declared in the email itself
