Steps to reproduce:

This issue can't be tested without bug#806011 being fixed.

* The message has no character encoding specified (see attachment 675746 [details]), and autodetection has (wrongly) assumed that message is in "Cyrillic (KOI8-R)" (see 1st attachment).
* When I switch the encoding via "View → Character Encoding → Auto-Detect" to "Unicode (UTF-8)", the message is displayed correctly (see 2nd attachment).
* Now I print the email.

Actual: The email is printed using wrong encoding.
Expected: The email is printed as shown in view pane, i.e. using forced encoding.

The issue is the same as bug#455461 (I couldn't reopen it).

The problem is still present in Thunderbird v45.8.0. At the moment I can't test on latest version.

Actually the subissue of this one is that auto-detection of character encoding is weak. In my opinion UTF-8 should be one of the first to try.
