Details

From utf8_nextchar() in mailnews/mime/src/comi18n.cpp:

// RFC 2279 defines more than 3 bytes sequences (0xF0, 0xF8, 0xFC),
// but I think we won't encounter those cases as long as we're supporting UCS-2
and no surrogate.

This assumption is no longer true, and we should add support for 4 byte UTF-8.
Taking the bug.
