Thunderbird is a mail and news client, not a browser, although it can
show HTML-formatted messages.

Unicode is not necessary in Usenet posts, I'll give you that, but I hope
that you won't insist on 7-bit us-ascii text. That is too US-parochial.
I use ISO-8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) because I need it for my Swedish alphabet
(a-z plus åäö, mostly), but Thunderbird is capable of showing Unicode
if necessary. Most modern Linuxes, e g Ubuntu, use UTF-8 by default, by
the way.

That is too limiting.
