270081 - Default encoding for outgoing mail should be per-account (or per-identity)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 119813

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Jiang, Bo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

There is a global option to set character encodings for outgoing mail in the
(Tools-Options-Fonts). However, there is no option for different account to set
its default encoding for outgoing mails. 

Why do I need this? I may use multiple mailboxes for different purposes so that
outgoing mails may be different in default. 

BTW, I don't suggest the way that UTF-8  used everywhere, because for emacs or
some other legacy mail clients, utf-8 is not well supported.

I strongly support this request.

I need my default email account to use a Hebrew encoding, while my News accounts
must use a standard Western encoding.
