(and why is windows-1252 the default on the Windows-version?) If I use a character that Microsoft puts in the C1 range, I want my message in UTF-8, and never windows-1252.

Right entry, but it already holds ISO-8859-1, or Latin1—and on my outgoing messages the character encoding is "windows-1252". I notice the same on Firefox webpages: if I write "iso-8891-1" for character encoding in a webpage that I write, Firefox page information shows "windows-1252".

my outgoing messages the character encoding is "windows-1252".

Then you'll need to change the default to UTF-8 as described in the article.

Each is wronger than the other. Furthermore, I found that in importing from Eudora, Thunderbird added "charset=windows-1252" to all imported messages. Maybe the Mozilla programmers don't believe in Latin1 under Windows.
