Now I am getting an error message saying the posting failed as UTF-8
is not supported.. I triple-checked and Thunderbird is configured to
use LATIN-1 and also the config files are using LATIN-1 for that
specific area.
Should I download the utf-8 chrs file and add it to the jamnntpd.xlat
config?
All I did was to add these lines:
read UTF-8 utf-8
post utf-8 UTF-8
Which Thunderbird are you using? The newest TB seems to always post messages in utf-8. Annoying...

Thanks, I will give it a try.
Exactly. That started to happen after the latest TB upgrade for
Mac.
I checked other news clients and it worked fine...
That should work. I have the same configuration and no problems with posting UTF-8 messages.

Looks like this 'feature' has been introduced by Firefox:

I haven't used the newer Thunderbird versions. Does it always use UTF-8 even if the text in the mail is only 7-bit ASCII?
