how to remove 'content-transfer-encoding' from header?

[lukemb]

I have Thunderbird 2.

In some emails in the message header where in the place the sender, subject line, date and recipient are listed I also get information on 'content-transfer-encoding'.

This is where header is set as 'normal'.

I think this happens in IMAP emails where there is forwarded text or text below a reply and it gives 'quoted-printable' or '7bit'etc as the encoding.

How do I get rid of this from this header information? I don't get it on Thunderbird on another computer I use.

I think it may be to do with installing enigmail and then uninstalling it but maybe all the settings not being changed back on uninstall. But that is just a guess.

I am guessing I need to change something in the config list but that is also just a guess.

I tried uninstalling Thunderbird and deleting the folder and then transferring Thunderbird from my other computer where the 'c-t-e' header does not come up but this did not work. It still comes up anyway. So I wonder whether there is something outside the Thunderbird files that is making this happen (maybe in the Firefox files or somewhere else?).

Any help appreciated thanks,

Luke

I solved this.

After uninstalling enigmail it still left behind a value in the config editor modifying the header in this way which I have now changed back to normal.

Maybe I uninstalled enigmail wrongly but if not then I guess it should change settings like this back when uninstalled rather than leaving them there.
