I use Thunderbird too, and have the same experience with these  symbols turning up.
I find they only appear when I put two spaces between a full stop and the start of the next sentence, so try to not do that when posting to this mailing list. I was taught to type that way, so it is automatic to type two spaces after a full stop (period). Hope this helps. :-) Wendy PS I also usually send in plain text, but I don't think that changes anything. Testing here to see (two spaces before this sentence, set to plain text).
