It is very annoying the TB does not show the whole subject correctly instead
it adds diamond with question mark at the end of the subject field, fails to decode the whole subject which is written in Hebrew and encoded to UTF-8.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.When I receive mail with Hebrew subjects encoded with UTF-8 
2.
3.



When I logged to my mail using webmail client the subject was displayed correctly.
I saved the mail in *.eml format and opened it with Outlook Express , the subject was displayed correctly.
Tried to open the file with TB , still faulty subject.
Adding screen shots of Outlook , TB and the .eml file with the bug.
