For instance, Raúl Núñez de Arenas (Raúl Núñez de Arenas) is transmitted as Ra=C3=BAl N=C3=BA=C3=B1ez de= Arenas and displayed as Raúl Núñez de Arenas This already looks like UTF-8 -- you should be able to verify this by manually selecting UTF-8 as encoding from the menu. I found the per-message setting and selecting utf-8 fixed it. If the Content-Type still uses us-ascii though, it should be fixed to specify UTF-8 instead. Email from the tracker specifies utf-8. Thunderbird must assume latin-8 for non-ascii in a message specified as ascii. -- Terry Jan Reedy ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
