"If you're sending through a Yahoo (ATT, Rogers, Verizon etc.) type server and your recipients see unwanted characters, set mail.strictly_mime to true in Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor to enforce Quoted Printable encoding (Outlook default)."
Change the preference mail.strictly_mime to true by double-clicking (toggling) it in Config. editor.

click OK, and OK, and ......same thing happens , £ comes up as ??
Did you make the preference change mentioned in the second paragraph? It's necessary for mail sent from yahoo accounts.
