I replied to email and started typing my reply. Suddenly messagebox appeared:
Message Compose
---------------
The mesage you composed contains characters not found in the selected Character Encoding. While you can choose a different Character Encoding, it is usually save to use Unicode (UTF-8) ...
.....
--
Send in UTF-8 / Send anyway / Cancel
I suspect that autosave triggered and as a side effect (the mail itself is in english in plain ASCII? Though my From: name contain accented characters) it seems to pop up this dialog box.
mailnews.send_default_charset=ISO-8859-2 in my configuration
First, the messagebox is misleading (or is the half-written message going to be really sent? It seems that not, when I pressed "send" nothing apparent happened - the message appeared in drafts though).
Second, the autosave should be performed without such disruptive messageboxes.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set autosave to small amount (like 1 or 2 minutes)
2. Reply to mail
3. Start typing in your answer.
Actual Results:
Messagebox appeared. See above.
Expected Results:
Autosave without asking misleading questions.

Note: I have now noticed strange character in the subject (probably a long dash, I can't see it, as it is only a square - a missing character in my font). So probably this was the cause why the popup window appeared, not my name in headers.
While I possibly solved this by setting mailnews.send_default_charset to UTF-8 as workaround on my machine, the bug still remains valid.
