User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 SeaMonkey/2.16 Build ID: 20130217195808 Steps to reproduce: I received several HTML-E-Mails sent with Outlook from different people. Actual results: The special characters in these E-Mails are not displayed correctly (see attached screenshot). In the source code of the mail, charset="iso-8859-1". In Seamonkey, under view/encoding, "iso-8859-1" is marked with a dot. If I answer to the E-Mail, the quoted text of the original E-Mail is displayed correctly in the window of the reply-message (see attached screenshot). Expected results: The special characters should always display correctly.
Here is the Sourcecode of an E-Mail where the problem occurs (not the same as shown in the screenshot). ------------------------------------------------------------------ Delivered-To: ...

In contrast to Seamonkey 2.16, the E-Mail from just above is displayed correctly in Thunderbird 17.0.2.

(In reply to Philip Chee from comment #3) > Probably a duplicate of Bug 594646 > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 594646 *** yes, see in comment #1, and after resolving the quoted-printable: <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15" http-equiv=Content-Type>
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
this bug is fixed in thunderbird, but not in seamonkey 16.1! so it is a duplicate, but NOT RESOLVED!
If it's a duplicate, then *this* bug is resolved -- *as* a duplicate. The one which isn't resolved (yet) is the one it is a duplicate of. When this bug was resolved as duplicate, you (the reporter) were added to the Cc list of the other one (bug 594646), so you'll be informed whenever something happens to it, included (if and) when it gets fixed.
P.S. In the meantime, you can use "View → Message Body As → Simple HTML" to view the problematic messages. Not ideal, admittedly, but better than nothing. Messages which don't give you this problem can still be viewed as "Original HTML" which looks better.
thanks for the tip!
