Why doesn't cyrillic text show correctly in Thunderbird
When I receive an e-mail with Cyrillic text in Thunderbird it shows as nonsense text. How do I fix this without changing my primary language from English? I have version 60.8.0.

Try this: Menu icon > Options > Display > 'Formatting' tab Click on 'Advanced' button
Fonts for: Latin set fonts and sizes as desired Select: "Allow messages to use other fonts" Select: "Use fixed width font for plain text messages" Outgoing Mail : select Unicode (UTF-8) Incoming Mail : select Unicode (UTF-8) untick "When possible use the default character encoding in replies"
On "Fonts For" drop-down menu repeat the procedure for Cyrillic and any other eg: Greek
On "Fonts For" drop-down menu select "Other Writing Systems" and repeat the procedure. Click on 'OK
In same 'Options' window...select Advanced > 'General' tab
click on 'Config Editor' button
It will say be careful :)
In top search type: charset
look for this line:
- mailnews.force_charset_override
If Value = False then all is ok If Value = true double click on that line to toggle the value to 'False' Close window - top right X Click on OK to save and close Options window
Now check the Folder Properties
Right click on Folder and select 'Properties'
Fallback Text Encoding should say Unicode (UTF-8)
Uncheck 'Apply encoding to all messages in the folder.............'.
click on OK

Thank you. The Incoming Mail Unicode (UTF-8) correction fixed it.
