While recieving mail containing charset=MACINTOSH as MIME, Thunderbird can't
read correctly "special characters".

It shows "�" char instead of showing chars like é, è, à etc.

"installes un �diteur de texte"
instead of :
"installes un éditeur de texte"

Reproducible: Always

1. A mail was send by a "Macintosh" computer using charset "MACINTOSH" and
special chars
2. Read the message with thunderbird

Actual Results:  
text sample :

installes un �diteur de texte

Expected Results:  
installes un éditeur de texte

no crash

Perhaps this is related to Bug 237712. Could you please test it with a TB 1.0.1
build (or wait for the TB 1.0.1 release) from
http://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1/

If it works it is a duplicate of the mentioned bug.
