You need to attach a sample message (as .eml) to this bug. You can edit it to remove personal information.

Thank you for the suggestion. I attached an .eml file.

What is your TB version? You selected TB78 in the summary - I would like to doubt that.
It has unencoded characters in the subject. So this sounds like Bug 1315599
But according to Bug 1315599 comment 1 this was fixed in TB50.

In this case I agree with Magnus: TB shows your email correctly for me too.
Another thing I notice is that your first image seems to show normal question marks. I would have expected TB to use special replacement chars ("" - <u+0FFFD>) when in doubt.
<u+0FFFD> -> https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fffd/index.htm

@Reporter,
Does this still reproduce when using version 91? And if you resolved the problem, what was the solution?
