I added RSS feed at http://www.artlebedev.ru/kovodstvo/kovodstvo.rdf. It is in
UTF-8.
The content of <title> tag for individual items is shown incorrectly (subject
field in right pane) - some latin characters, while the header is quite correct
phrase in Russian, and it is correctly displayed if I open the same URL in FireFox.
The channel name in the left pane of mail window is displayed correctly, and so
does the Sender field of the right pane.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to feed http://www.artlebedev.ru/kovodstvo/kovodstvo.rdf
2. Position the cursor on that feed
Actual Results:  
Some latin characters are shown in the subject filed of right pane.

Expected Results:  
Russian characters should be seen instead.

I tried to delete the subscription and then re-add it, but the result is the same.
This feed displays correctly for me with TB 1.5b1-0904.  There have been 
numerous fixes to TB's RSS handling since the 1.0 was branched off; please don't 
file any additional bugs, especially about RSS, until you've tested with at 
least a 1.5 build, if not a trunk (1.6) build.

I (the reporter of the bug) tried this feed on Thuderbird 1.5 and it seems to work correctly.
