When I get a response from my website (which is in Czech language), the email I receive is perfectly readable when viewed in webmail.

When downloaded in Thunderbird, however, it's a jumble of unintelligible ASCII characters. How can I solve the problem?

So I changed the incoming mail font to UTF-8 and everything seems OK now. Thanks for helping.
