I am getting reports from others I exchange emails with of problems with
my email that a search seems to show is this "bug":
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1435536
The work-around appears to be to enable UTF-8 encoding for email, but I
don't see how to do so. When I go into mail preferences and select the
Text encoding tab I see
"Default text encoding" as "Default for current Locale" listed.
When I drop down the menu I see various languages, but no UTF-8 listed.
How do I specify UTF-8 encoding here?
As I have received no response yet perhaps you require more information.
Going to a terminal window I see:
dhdurgee@Z560 ~/Downloads $ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
dhdurgee@Z560 ~/Downloads $
So unless I am misunderstand, this appears to indicate a UTF-8 locale.
I saved my sent message as an eml file. It is both text and html. Here
are some extracts from it.
