435163 - Save message with special characters prompts to Send

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 328938

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Onno Ekker [:nONoNonO UTC+1]]

Attachment: Message with charset ISO-8859-1 and containing unicode character.

When saving a message that contains characters not in the selected Character Encoding, Thunderbird prompts you to "Send in UTF-8", "Cancel", or "Send anyway".

This also happens when (auto)saving a Draft (at least on IMAP with Draft folder on server.)

You need to set several preferences for sending to get Thunderbird to prompt when really sending a message, which is the behavior I want for sending.

But for saving a message Thunderbird should prompt you to "Save in UTF-8", "Cancel", or "Save anyway". Or better yet, "save it anyway" and prompt you when you really Send/Forward the message.
