Hi Fred,
Yes, this happens to me regularly. My default character encoding is NOT
utf-8 so when I reply to somebody (and include their original message) I
get the same query about sending in utf-8. Saying "yes" to the query does
not send off your email but only changes the setting for the character
encoding for your message. Once you do that TB doesn't bother you anymore.
Unless you have a specific reason for that sending in utf-8,
answering "yes" does no harm. Typically this arises when I use or I respond
to someone else who uses the "euro" symbol €.
Cheers,
Jonathan
