<p dir="auto"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1251">windows-1252</a> is an 8-bit extended ascii encoding, which Postbox supports.</p>
<p dir="auto">The character with the <code>A0</code> character code in the windows-1251 encoding is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space">non-breaking space</a>. So somewhere along the way the non-breaking spaces are being replaced by <code><A0></code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Does this <code><A0></code> stuff show up when you view the raw message in MailMate (with ⌥⌘U)?</p>
<p dir="auto">What happens if you use <code>less</code> to view the message’s <code>.eml</code> file?</p>
<p dir="auto">Best,</p>

i presume the sender is thunderbird and they have created the text with<br>
some sort of windows encoding on a mac?<br>
<br>
how can i save the content as vanilla ascii text?<br>
