467603 - yahoo webmail shows confusing characters rather than html on some emails, such as invoices from newegg.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[skuraq]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081201 Shredder/3.0b1pre

I click on an email from newegg, an invoice or info, I get characters like this:

�`�L��P����/� 0�L���T�j{"�*'j_��m����0ފ��4�٥��h�ǝ��m�X^i�b�W�{���&�ح���y�[�ܬ�)^3�Ҝmi�^q�eJ���x�ǥ��v)�Lv���('ǵ�ۢ�^� n�r��]���z�r��9�E=)���FD��OJq�C�?Jq<�L�4�ҜA9�D�OJq<�jQޖ�Ƭj{,z��q�eJ���x�ǥ��v)�Lv���('ǵ�ۢ�^� n�r��]�'m� �0J��f������� ��� r���w^ū)�y�p0$���b��i�"�I��ri�p0$���b��i�"�J�u�� {

I can fix it temporarily by going into View-Character Encoding-Auto Detect-Universal. I get header info that should be hidden and the html body of email. If I go to a different email and back to this, it becomes gibberish again. This has been happening since 2.0.0.16 or earlier. 

Note, the current yahoo webmail does not work with the current build, so I cannot get new emails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.get email from newegg
2. open to view, gibberish
3.View-Character Encoding-Auto Detect-Universal and it is temporarily fixed, reverts back 
Actual Results:
