Icedove gotcha - Emoticons include ^2
Posted by simonw on Fri 19 Feb 2010 at 22:22
Icedove, aka Thunderbird, will substitute a superscripted 2 for "^2".
To disable this you need to disable the "Emoticon" feature (Edit -> Preferences -> Display under plain text).
This seems so wrong. My quick attempts to get a full list of "emoticons" (or other ways we **** with your text) failed miserably.
Anyone know if there is a list outside the source code, or which bit of code to read?

Read the source you will...
Sorry for the unhelpful comment, but I dont know exactly where to look and besides I have no idea why anyone would want to have this emoticon replacement enabled. Probably the same people that send Richtext-emails.
