Have you looked at about:config, Tools-->Options-->Advanced-->Config
Editor...
In my old Thunderbird I see mailnews.send_default_charset;UTF-8 I guess
you could change it to Windows-1252.

That about:config preference is not in Thunderbird version 115.11.1
(the current release).

(disclaimer: I'm TB ignorant, but) In FF-current setting 'User-Agent:'
is secret option (it's missing from about:preferences and about:config),
it must be created manually.  I speculate, setting 'Content-Type:
charset=' in TB-current *might be* secret option.  That being said, this
implies two things:  more digging through documentation and/or search
results, and hoping one day it won't be ignored forever.
