User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.54  [en]
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 (20041201)

If you have an email containing the euro (€) character in Outlook 2003 and you 
convert it with Thunderbird the result characters converted is: €
Also in the same mail appears at the first line the character  that I don't 
know which character correspond to because the first character in the original 
mail is a "C" letter.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make an email with Outlook 2003 containing the euro character (tested with a 
html email)
2. import Tools -> Import

Actual Results:  
the character converted is not the euro character

Expected Results:  
of course correcly convert the euro character
Not all email containing the euro character were badly converted, but I don't 
know why some have correct euro character, some not, but also in this page I 
have typed the euro character inside () in the first line and the character 
changed exactly in the same way, I think it all depends on the characters 
encoding used.
I'm so sorry, putting UTF-8 and "Fonts->Languages->Apply default to all messages 
(ignore character coding specified by MIME header)" enabled works for the 
majority of email, so it isn't a conversion problem.

But an email with charset=iso-8859-1; and an euro character doesn't show correct 
euro character anyway.
