So you compose an email to yourself in Thunderbird and then send it to yourself, and when you open that email in Thunderbird you see lots of  ?

Hey, GoodMorning :)

?? Where do you see Thunderbird?  I have no idea what that is....  :)

I use Firefox 29.0.1 to browse
SeaMonkey 2.26 to receive and send email

This deal - where the  shows up in places it does not belong - started happening
a few versions back - when I had SeaMonkey version 2.23 or 2.24 - I can't remember which...

Thanks for trying to help :)

What are you settings for Character Encoding?
Edit | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups -> Character Encoding

It looks like defaults are:

> Fallback, Western (ISO-8859-1)

> Composing, both boxes unchecked
> Default Character Encoding, Unicode (UTF-8)

Also, are you using a Signature in your messages?

GoodEvening and Thank You Sooooooo Much!

I checked what you said and mine is set up a bit different - But..... IT WORKED.

SeaMonkey | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups -> Character Encoding
> Fallback, Western (ISO-8859-1)

> Composin  -  Both Boxes Unchecked
> Default Character Encoding, Unicode (UTF-8)

BUT - I also had to go to
edit | Folder Properties 
and un-check the box there  -  That is what finally made all the    Â's disappear!

WOO - HOO !  THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
