Symptoms

The body of your messages shows as strange characters that replaces your normal ascii characters.

Solution

  1. Exit Thunderbird.
  2. Back up your "prefs.js" file.
  3. Open "prefs.js" in a text editor (e.g., Notepad) and look for this line:
user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "CSD10");
  1. Note that "CSD10" may not be the name of the font in your "prefs.js" file.
  2. Remove this line and save "prefs.js" as text.
  3. Start Thunderbird and test it.
