Font has a capital "A" with a carat on top after every period and 2 spaces. How do I fix this?
I sometimes get this when I receive emails. If I send an email and then go to the "sent" folder to see what I sent, there is a capital A with a carat on top after every sentence (but it seems to be only when I end the sentence with a period and 2 spaces.)
I tried changing fonts, but that didn't seem to help. I had this problem with an old version of Thunderbird and hoped it would go away when I upgraded my OS (Linux Mint - used to be Ubuntu 10.4). I suspect whatever is causing it was carried over when I transferred my files to the newer Thunderbird.
Thanks.

Sounds like the wrong Character encoding is being used.
What character encoding do you have setup here: Edit > Preferences > Display >Formatting tab click on 'Advanced' button
see my example image below
You could post an image showing what you have selected, much easier than typing it all out.
Is this only a problem with mail in the Sent folder or also with mail in other folders?
Select the email in the Sent folder click on 'other actions' > View source or View > message source or Ctrl + U
What is in the source code for these lines: example: Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
You could try selecting the email and then: View > Character encoding what is selected? Try another encoding, note it will only be temporary whilst viewing email.

I switched to UTF-8 and it seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for your help.
