User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100402 SeaMonkey/2.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100402 SeaMonkey/2.0.4

Russian language preference is set to highest priority, cyrillic encoding (KOI8-R) is set everywhere, content negotiation works perfectly in browser, 
still an html page displayed with the wrong font in Mail Start Page when that page uses content negotiation and cyrillic text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit/Preferences/Languages : add Russian [ru] language and move it up 
2. Edit/Preferences/Mail & Newsgroups : Mail Start Page - check "When Mail launches ..." and specify http://www.izmiran.ru as a start page
3. Close SM. Open it again, launch Mail agent and select Inbox. The lower right window will display the Start Page and it will be unreadable. 
Actual Results:  
the Mail Start Page is unreadable.

Expected Results:  
Mail Start Page should be displayed in Russian language using corresponding (KOI8-R) encoding, just as browser does it.

Th bug is very old (years) and is present in all versions and all OSes ...
