As you said in msgid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If there
is a default font profile per account(or per folder), just right click and
select "Using default font profile" menuitem. All is done.

BTW, this message is encoded in gb2312. If TB implements the "default font
profile per account" feature, your "PTV/RTV toggling" trick will still work in
similar way, right?

I *do* need the "viewer profile per charset" feature. Because I get simplified
chinese, traditional chinese, english and japanese email. Not a single font is
suitable for those 4 encoding. I have to use Simsun in RTV because gb2312
message is the majority. Of course, I can use Courier in PTV for english mail,
but how about the other two? What's more, in current version of TB, only PTV can
display asian encoding mail properly, the RTV shows extra square, question mark
or other garbage characters in chinese OS system. Can you see the extra "?"
leading the quotations above? That's what the windows/HTML editor has done in my
system...This issue occurs when the TRichView component was introduced in v3.5.x
or so, IIRC. And never fixed till now.
