I doubt that you made no changes to the original SM. ;) One of those changes could be the reason for the problem and could have be done on both machines. >If I set View->Character Encoding to Unicode it displays correctly. > >The problem must be somewhere in the default configuration of SM, >or a bug detecting the UTF-8 character encoding. Neither. You have a suitable font, but your SM is forced to ignore the encoding of a message. If a message contains the headers Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit SM should treat the message as utf-8. Instead your SM insists on using iso-8859-15. Displaying utf-8 as iso-8859-15 gives funny results. :) The default configuration of SM would not allow such behaviour. It may be caused by an extension.

Should not be possible this way. But of course you are right. Should is not enough. Therefore backups are advisable. ;) Copy your whole .mozilla directory to .mozilla-sav. You will need a backup anyway if something goes wrong. If safe-mode does not help, the next step is to use a clean fresh test profile. Without any extensions. That would not harm your current profile. And even if, you have your backup. In that new profile only... Oh, i just noticed your reply that the problem is gone. So i do not have to finish this message. :-D Hartmut _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
