After rereading this thread I started from the beginning and noticed on my system the only way to get the unicode setting to remain as default in the composer window is to actually select "default for locale" unicode is not available as an option in the edit/preferences/mailandnews/textencoding and FWIR the original setting was "other(incl western european)" though i had tried various other options after first coming across this a few years ago. ofc if this rears it's ugly head again i shall make more effort to discover the source and report back.
