Build ID: 20141211160358

Steps to reproduce:

1. choose vertical window layout with at least thread pane and message pane visible
2. click on a message with body as Content-Type: multipart/alternative; charset=UTF-8, doesn't matter if you are viewing it as original or text-only; ensure the message contains characters with accents
3. change window layout 


Actual results:

charachters with accent (èéòàù and so on) are not reencoded correctly; è becomes  è, ì becomes ì and so on


Expected results:

after layout switch the message should be displayed correctly using the right charset
