I get strange characters in some emails that I receive in Thunderbird on F8. Things like (I hope this comes thru):

*Uptown Theatre buyer calls city requirements ‘onerous’* <http://e.ccialerts.com/a/hBIkMy4AFS8nrB7Q2vpAUpPTuv5/ccb37>

and

Version:Â Â Â  [GA

Any idea why I would be seeing this? Apparently, when I send the recipient's see strange characters such as these as well. Is it an encoding issue, d'ya think?

Yes, it is character encoding.

If the message is sent using UTF-8 as the encoding and you force it to display as ISO-8859-1 you will indeed get what you show above.

Also, if a message is sent using "onerous" (with the punctuation mark used in the article) as iso-8859-1 you will see what you show. In that case, you can force UTF-8 as the charset and it will display properly.

So if messages are sent using an encoding that you are not this will happen? Crud, how do you get around /that/?
