Thunderbird menus (as in the link) are different from SM, but I solved the

smtp.att.yahoo.com.
2.49.2 doesn't seem to like being required to use multiple smtp servers, any
more
than switching default search engines.
As an experiment I reinstalled SM 2.48. End of problems. 2.48 has no problem
sending
through gmail's smtp without needing to delete anything. Or with sending through
Yahoo's smtp without producing spurious characters in the final result.
So I'll be using 2.48 at least until 2.49.3 arrives. This is sad!

before with the same results. BUT...Seamonkey was NOT using Gmail's SMTP
server, if
the box that pops up after you click Send is a true indication. It was still
using
att.yahoo.com.
Either something's wrong or PEBKAC...

If you can reproduce it file a bug. Might be in shared mail / news code with

The problem occurs in both current TB and SM. But ONLY if I send through the
ATT/Yahoo SMTP server. The issue does not appear if I use my hosting company
(Bluehost) server.
This is bad. The last time I went down this road it took MONTHS for them to
even
acknowledge there was a problem.
They do not want people to use email clients. They want to be able to inundate
us
with ads in webmail.

I just tried to reinstall 2.48, but the problem persisted for me.
I am still on 2.48, and had to add gmail outgoing smtp info and delete the
outbound.att.net. Google sent me messages that (1) someone tried to access and
I got an error message and to allow access to less secure apps and then when I
allowed it (2) got another message that access for less secure apps has been
turned on and telling me it will be easier to break into my account and I could
undo the change and switch to apps made by google such as Gmail. I am going to
try to go back to 2.49.2 and see if they get over the insecurity issue, but
regardless, it got rid of the random punctuation!! Thanks to everyone and
let's hope that 2.49.3 resolves the issue.
If you get a gmail warning for something you've just done intentionally, it's
generally okay to just say yes and let it pass.
Frank-Rainer Grahl's suggestion to go to about:config and toggle mail.strictly_mime
to true in 2.49.2 does seem to work with the spurious characters and I can also
switch between smtpe servers and have it stick. I'm also reading in this thread that
yahoo may have just changed its settings. So I don't actually know... :P
