this "solution" doesn't make much sense? "1- Enter about:config"
where/what do you mean by this, enter the file? a hidded menu? maybe
a console somewhere..
Dave, if you enter "about:config" (without the double quotes) in the
addressbar and accept the warning, you get to see all sorts of
Preferences, which you can alter (remembering the Warning which you
previously accepted) to change how SeaMonkey appears.

Silly me, expecting the configuration to be available via seamonkey mail, I
mean who wouldn't expect it to be located in the browser ;)
not directed at you Daniel, just pointing out the logic i followed.
It's all part of the same application. SeaMonkey directly descends from
the combined Mozilla Suite, which predates the separation of Firefox and
Thunderbird into separate applications, so there was no expectation to
have a different set of advanced options for each. about:config has
always served both (and the other components of the suite). It's not
immediately obvious though if you don't already know how to access it.
I think Thunderbird still has an equivalent to about:config, but with no
integrated browser I'm not sure offhand how it's accessed there...
Managed to achieve this but still cannot get SMmail to deal with the issue properly, i
compose and send a mail formatted as unicode and in my "sent" mail box it tries
to display it in some other format resulting in strange characters like
"Hi
   I have spent a few hours researching your issues with"
so imagine most other clients will do the same if SM cannot correctly detect
it's own formatting..
If you're reading in the "message pane", rather than opening each
message in a separate window, try hiding the message pane and showing it
again (press F8 twice, or View > Layout > Message Pane on the menu). It
seems the message pane sometimes doesn't load messages with the right
encoding, but hiding and showing it again reloads it correctly. See bug
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1287336>.
There's an added complication with getting Unicode set as the default
encoding for sending messages, since it's not an option at Edit >
Preferences > Mail and Newsgroups > Text Encoding > Default Text
Encoding. However, it can be selected either by choosing "Default for
Current Locale" (if Unicode is the default for your current locale) or
by setting mailnews.send_default_charset to "UTF-8" in about:config
(that's the underlying preference controlled by the "Default Text
Encoding" option, and although UTF-8 isn't an option in the dialog, it
does still work). That only affects the encoding used for composing
messages though - nothing to do with displaying messages. Sounds like
you've already got this one sorted though if you're sending as Unicode.
