• Thunderbird, Plain-Text, and Odd-looking Messages

    From croy@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 24 19:01:57 2021
    One person that I correspond with every week or so, will occaisionally send a message that
    looks odd in Thunderbird (68.12), even tho TB is set to read everything in plain-text.

    I finally got around to digging thru the headers, and found that the odd-looking messages all
    had this in common:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"

    The messages that look normal, show this:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

    Here's my question: Why would the messages look different when TB is set to read everything in
    plain-text?
