Since TB 3.1 + Lightning, events named with spanish language specific characters such as ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú could not be got from calendar server.

In my case it means 95% of my meetings, so I have had to return to MS Outlook for calendar management.

TB 3.0.x + Lightning handled these characters perfectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use TB 3.1 + Lightning.
2. Receive a meeting invitation with characters such as ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú in its name.
3.See how this event is not downloaded by Lightning.
Actual Results:  
These events aren't downloaded by Lightning, making this add-on useless for Spanish users.

Expected Results:  
TB 3.0.x + Lightning handled these characters perfectly.

My stack is made of TB 3.1 + Lightning + davmail 3.6.6.

Previous releases of TB + Lightning + davmail 3.6.6 work smoothly.

Please, address this issue ASAP. Lighning is completely useless for me since this issue arose. It forced me to go back to MS Outlook.
