How quickly switch encoding (UTF-8/Windows-1250/ISO-8856-2) for message seen in main window?
Incoming e-maill encoding depends on author platform/program tool preferences. Therefore I often have to switch between diferent encoding - e.g.: UTF-8, Windowes-1250 , ISO-8859-2.
How to create a button or other quick access method (maybe a short-key) to choosen - often used encoding types? Should be in main window as well as in view window...
Does anybody met the problem? Any solutions?

I have forgotten: Thunderbird 52.7.0 (32 bity) on W-7x64 platform.
But an email client is supposed to detect and honour the encoding declared in the message. You shouldn't need to change it manually.
Is this a common problem for you? Or just with particular correspondents?
No effects of automatic detection noticed. Problem common, NON-corespondent dependent - as far as I can recognise using it for years. Even can't remember when it started to happen.
I think that e-mails with the same encoding as set up in Display Options are properly displayed. Other encoding formats ignored and forcefully displayed with the set up encoding.
I have set up encoding in (my original menu translation to eng.): Menu/Tools/Options/Display Options/ ->Formating (tab) -> Fonts and Colours (section) -> Advanced (button) -> Text Encoding (section) where are two drop-down lists for : - outgoing e-mails : Unicode (UTF-8) - incoming e-mails: Unicode (UTF-8) {at the moment}
The last one option (incoming e-mail) was tested also with CentralEuropen encoding standards: Windows -1250 and ISO-8859-2 with similar effect but in favour of choosen encoding.
No option/switch for automation of the encoding detection noticed there nor found anywhere else in the options (could fail to found but was trying several times).

I have also this problem. It seems the fault is exported in replies and forwarding mail too.
