Reproduced with TB 1.0, Win2K.
This is apparently due to the missing Content-Type header. If you add a header
like:
Content-Type: text/plain
the message displays as expected (at least if Western character encoding is the
default for your configuration).
Per RFC 2045 <http://rfc.net/rfc2045.html#s5.2> , the default for Content-Type
should be:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
However, even if an explicit "us-ascii" is included in a Content-Type header
added to the sample ISO-8859-1 message, it is displayed as expected.
