Thunderbird Auto-Detect Character Encoding setting

[cah]

After years of frustrating experience, I found a solution to this issue from the following site:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1006626

Code: Select all

Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab Click on Config Editor

In top search type: mailnews.force_charset_override; Value = 'false'

What do you have as the Value..true or false? If Value = 'True', double click on line to toggle to 'false'

close window - top right X click on OK to save changes to Options. Close and reopen Thunderbird.
