Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1390015

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/66.0.3359.181 Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open my inbox
Subject contains the following
Subject: Don't let exams get to you =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=9C=8C=EF=B8=8F=F0=9F=99=8F?=



Actual results:

Some messages have an Icon/Emoticon in the subject.  The icon is big and covers at least 4 other subjects.  Can't read my inbox properly


Expected results:

I should at least have a settings/preference choice to remove this option to display UTF-8 characters
Could this not pose a security problem?
In any event , it appears this feature is not necessarily practical.

Your issue is not a thunderbird bug. See bug 1390015
