Re: How to swee youtube videos,

Do you often receive emails that are encoded in UTF-8 but claim to be some
other encoding? If not, I suggest that you stop enforcing any particular
encoding. Let Thunderbird use the encoding that is specified in each
individual message, and all will be good as long as the messages adhere to
standards.

g:
i tried that but type would change in size and i had to squint or lean
back to read messages, along with stretching page sides. after going
thru a lot of trouble, i have *all* settings to utf-8 and do best i
can to figure out what crude is.

And that's your problem, the only characters that are compatible with
UTF-8, are the US-ASCII ones. After that (character 127), there's
differences. You have to use the correct encoding.

If you're seeing changes in fonts depending on the encoding used, have a
play with your client's font preferences. You might have to manually
select font families for different encodings (named after localities,
rather than listed as ISO-8859-x specifications, in Thunderbird). You
probably want to untick the option to allow messages to use other fonts.

Fonts issues are one thing I really dislike about Firefox and
Thunderbird, they've convoluted it all to hell, and use *pixel* sizes in
a disastrous fashion.
