Mozilla Thunderbird

You can insert special characters (like the è in Agnès) when composing a message in html by going to the Insert menu, choosing Characters and symbols....

You then need to select a category (e.g.: Accent lower case) then the letter (e)and the symbol you want (è) and then click Insert.

Please note that the Insert Character window remains open, which is very handy when writing a message in a foreign language! To close it, just click on the Close button.
