Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59229

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

**** observed with 2001-05-17 build ****
Steps to reproduce:
- open in stand alone windows two folders ( either on the IMAP or News account);
- select a mail on one of them ( say: Cyrillic folder, koi8-r mail);
- click Reply(Forward); bring up the reply window;
//note: header and body are displayed correctly in Koi8-r encoding;
- select a different folder now ( say JA, jp-iso-2022 mail);
- click on Reply( forward); bring up the reply ( forward) window;
//note: header and body are unreadable because the encoding for the window is 
KOI8-R
you can not reverse this condition to the correct behavior unless you 
close/reopen mail ( but you won't be able to send reply/forward mail with two 
different encodings folders open at the same time

49230 is describing the case when there is no MIME or the message is mislabled, 
then when open in the standalone window it fail to inherit the correct encoding;
in my case both mails are MIME encoded and when open in standalone windows the  
display is correctl:only in case of Reply(Forward) the encoding of the first 
mail (in that case KOI8-R) becomes a default for the second Reply
