Bug Description
Thunderbird 45.8.0
Ubuntu 16.04
When composing or replying in Thunderbird, the default encoding is Western (Windows-1252) regardless of the setting of Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Advanced -> Text Encoding.
It doesn't matter that the setting for Outgoing Mail: is "Western (ISO-8859-1)" or "Western (Windows-1252)", either way the outgoing message is windows-1252 encoded.
If the setting for Outgoing Mail: is "Unicode (UTF-8)", then the outgoing message is utf-8 encoded, so that works. It is only "Western (ISO-8859-1)" that doesn't work.

Hello Mark,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with default encoding in Thunderbird. You made this bug report over a year ago and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you run the following (only once):
