This isn't about "junk mail".

It's about the junk characters that fill email messages sent from other email clients. An apostrophe, for example, ends up as an array of characters that includes the "TM" copyright symbol. Two spaces after a period (grammatically correct) ends up with junk characters, in place.

When are you people going to clean up the way Thunderbird handles ordinary conventions of the English language, in print?

It's all to do with some servers not dealing with Text encoding correctly. Yahoo/ATT is not exactly the best.

Please note when posting aquestion it is useful to know what OS you are using and what version of Thunderbird as the answer needs to be tailor made to suit.

I'm assuming Windows OS and Thunderbird version 78.5.0 So try this first:

  • Menu app icon > Options
  • Select 'General
  • Scroll to the bottom
  • click on 'Config Editor' button
  • accept the warning
  • In search type: mime
  • look for this line : mail.strictly_mime

if it says : false

  • double click on that line to toggle to 'True'
  • close 'about:config' window - top right x

Restart Thunderbird. See if this improves the new incoming mail
