Steps to reproduce:

I vew a mail that I received. The problem occurs with new mails as well as with mails received before the update. The Problem occurs only with some mails that are sent in plaintext + HTML when in the menu "view" the option "view message body as" is set to "original HTML" instead of "simple HTML".



Actual results:

Since update to version 2.16 mail bodies with german umlauts (special characters like äöüßÄÖÜ) are displayed as two strange characters. 
For example ä is displayed as ä, ü is displayed as ü, ß is displayed as ß.

It seems to work correct for mails with attribute "http-equiv" coming first in the meta-tag and to work wrong with attribute "content" coming first in the meta tag.
