Okay, what about the preferences for Thunderbird?  I'm assuming you're
using Windows for all these, in which case go to Tools -> Options ->
Display -> Formatting -> Advanced.  Character Encodings for both
outgoing (composition) and incoming mail are set here (I'm assuming
that your setting was only in the View -> Character encoding
section).  You'll want this to match everything else (although it
shouldn't matter if View -> Character Encoding resets itself to
ISO-8859-1 if the other two are set to UTF-8).
