73706 - Accents in e-mails are garbled (showing raw UTF-8 instead of proper encoding)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70525

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Thiago Macieira]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010323
BuildID:    2001032319

When seeing an e-mail with accents in Mozilla Mail, encoded with ISO-8859-1, the
accents are garbled in the display. That is, what is displayed is the raw UTF-8
of the e-mail, instead of the proper accents. The e-mail headers contained properly:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

When seeing the source of the e-mail, the accents are displayed correctly.

Sometimes, the accents are displayed normally when I select character coding as
UTF-8 and then back to Latin 1. Sometimes, just by selecting UTF-8, the accents
are displayed correctly, even for a ISO-8859-1 e-mail. However, if I select
another message, it happens again.

The message index pane's accents are garbled no matter what.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
It happens to me by just selecting a message with accents.

Actual Results:  Accents are garbled: UTF-8 raw is shown instead of the accents
that are in the message.

For instance, Mozilla shows "Saudações" instead of "Saudações"
