Since Seamonkey 2.16 some HTML mails containing accented characters aren't shown correctly. No matter which encoding is selected, there's no way to see them as they should be. When replying to or forwarding the message, however, the quoted text is correct, with all the accents where they should be. I'm attaching a mail that presents this problem so you can test and verify it yourselves.

The HTML <HEAD> part includes the line (shown here un-quoted-printable-ized):
<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
i.e. with content= first and http-equiv= afterwards.
This is a known problem, handled by bug 594646 fixed in Thunderbird 24.0a1 and SeaMonkey 2.21a1 on 2013-05-28, see bug 594646 comment #115.
AFAIK, it hasn't (yet) been fixed in earlier branches; but the current Thunderbird-Daily and SeaMonkey-Trunk nightly (and, I think, Aurora) builds should have the fix.

P.S. To view the message correctly in the SeaMonkey browser (as opposed to the mailer) you must (lyingly) tell SeaMonkey that the message is in UTF-8. This is bug 889656, a followup bug to bug 594646.
