Thunderbird 157.0

Not a question - just a recommendation.

Wanted to install British English. Chose 'language pack' option, presuming that would include everything. But no dictionary was installed.

Tried again, choosing 'dictionary' (why two options, different files?) Correct dictionary installed.

Instructions should say "Do NOT install the language pack".

For at least the last 10 years, Thunderbird spell-checker has rejected contractions such as "don't" in the emails that I type. It highlights "don" as a misspelled word, ignoring the apostrophe and "t". How can I force it to recognize contractions? Adding every contraction in the English language to the dictionary is not a practical answer.

Hello everyone.

Lately a get my emails from greek senders like in the screenshot, not everyone, but most of them. I tried many things like, changing mime variable from false to true, removing addons, repair folder, repair font to no avail. I also disabled antivirus. The questios marks are also in the "ctrl+U" screen and the fonts looks utf-8 as normal in the header. They look normal online or the yahoo mail app in iOS. Anyong knows how to fix this?

Thanks in regard.

hello, i had a friend and his father needed urgently to migrate his thunderbird with 1 email to a new computer but he wasnt able to setup the emailaccount in a new german client. i helped and the problem was that the setup asks for the password but it meant the password from the emailprovider to allow thirdpartyapps access. please consider to improve the german setup wizard by adding a new textline to clearify. best regards
