Anyone know of a way to force Thunderbird to use ASCII only for outgoing e-mails? I'm trying to get rid of the hard-space (0xA0) for the first of two spaces after a period. Some e-mail and maybe mail servers don't handle it well. It is replaced by two question marks on the other end.
I've used the config editor to set mailnews.send_default_charset to ASCII (ends up 8bit in e-mail header) and 7bit. Neither works.
No, using ASCII is not related to having hard space or not (flowed text). I believe it is a standard, the servers must comply with it. Change servers.
A mail server is not obliged to handle anything more than 7bit, but I don't know any that only works with 7bit. I guess hard space is an nbsp ?
In HTML it is a entity. In plain text, it's a 0xA0 character or the UTF-8 equivalent, depending on charset. I haven't seen a 7bit only mail server for years. Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
