Non-ASCII characters are incorrectly displayed when switching from one display mode to another.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Environment:
I receive an email including non-ASCII characters. The header contains the following information :
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Everything is correct and correctly displayed.
Information:
The Display is set to normal (accounts/folders on the left, list of messages/subjects on the right), with the message displayed under the list of messages.
Action:
Now, I switch the display to large: The message is now displayed under both the folders/accounts list and the message list.


Actual Results:  
Incorrect result:
The non ASCII characters are incorrectly displayed.


Expected Results:  
The non-ASCII characters should be displayed according to the specified charset.

Workaround:
If I select another message, it is correctly displayed. If I select the initial message again, it is also correctly displayed.
***
Expected bug origin: When switching from one mode to the other, the charset is not checked/interpreted again.
***
Good luck + Thanks.
