Only to test my message with the three chars and your reply to it. For a test the effort is bearable. ;) >You suggested me to select Unicode, that is a synonymous variant of >UTF-8, though my encoding character is ISO-8859-15. Isn't there an >incoherency ? I'm confused. The problem here is, that your message was declared as iso-8859-15, but the three unreadable chars were in reality utf-8 chars. Displaying utf-8 chars as iso-8859-15 give strange results. *g* I am now using a very old Trunk SM. One before the changes to the handling of the Character Encoding. And i am unable to find the relevant setting. Oh, i can find it for single news groups. In the context menu of news group, http://www.triffids.de/pub/screenshot/sm140705-4.png, if you check 'Apply encoding...' SM would be forced to ignore the encoding of the message. But there was a place for a global setting. My memory insists on it but it refuses to tell me, where. Hrmpf. Let us look into about:config with the filter charset. Near the end is a pref which looks promising. mailnews.force_charset_override. It is set to false here. If it is set to true on your machine, we should have found the culprit.
