Thanks, Eli and Peter. Part of the problem was a single character Y with
circumflex (Unicode but not Latin-1). I am using Emacs version 22 but
copy paste from Emacs to Thunderbird doesn't covert circumflexed vowels
in Emacs internal representation to Latin-1 in Thunderbird. I got around
the problem with:
C-x ret c
Latin-1
C-x C-w
and then closing buffer and reloading file. It may be something
different with Thunderbird. I recently turned on Autodect > Universal
under View > Character Encoding but I didn't understand what was going
on. Maybe all I have to to is reboot.
