Is it possible to specify different Character Encoding when Composing
Messages for different servers?

Right now, there is only a global setting!

Put this in your user.js[�] file which is located in your profile folder.

user_pref("mail.label_ascii_only_mail_as_us_ascii", true);
user_pref("intl.fallbackCharsetList.ISO-8859-15","US-ASCII,ISO-8859-1,UTF-8");
user_pref("intl.fallbackCharsetList.ISO-8859-1","US-ASCII,ISO-8859-15,UTF-8");

It will select the appropriate character set automatically.

I tried that, but I didn't have a user.js file anywhere, but I did find
that prefs.js contained all my
information. So my question is does prefs replace user?
