Characters being added to forwarded and reply emails
I use ATT DSL, which gives me Yahoo. But I use Thunderbird for my email. When I 'reply' or 'forward' an email, the recipient sees " �� " added to the each sentence (not the quotation marks, I added them for this message). This happens on multiple computers using the same ATT DSL and Thunderbird.
here is an example: We do have flight reservations for Colorado for early June.� But that is on SW airlines, so if we had to cancel we would have a full year to use up the tickets without penalty.�� One thing on our bucket list has been to take the train in Durango, Co.�� Hopefully we will get to do that.�� We will also go to Mesa Verde NP and also Arches NP in Utah and a few other places in between.� We took a chance and made the reservations for the train

The link in the page I cited says:
"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.
Press Alt if the Menu Bar with Tools is hidden, or click the 3-bar icon at the upper right, Options/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor.

This happens with sending through a Yahoo-based mail service. See if changing the preference mentioned here fixes it.
I am so lost! The link you provide says 'the thread was archived'. I try the other suggested fix, but I cannot find the menu items you tell me to use. I have looked in the Thunderbird tools menu and the Yahoo tools menu. The tree " Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor " cannot be found by me.

Thank you internet god. The prime statement to me was 'double-clicking' to toggle the entry to true once you showed me where the hidden menu was. Thanks soooo much
