Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution-mapi

When displaying a non-UTF8-message with the following entry in the message
  <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
the message is still rendered in UTF-8, making it impossible to read for non-ASCII characters, ex. scandinavian Å Ä Ö. I manually have to change encoding for this particular letter to ISO-8859-1.

Example mail rendering wrong, not displaying Å Ä Ö in message body at all, only aaaa:

Message-Id: <XXXXXX@XXXXXX>
To: XXXXXX <XXXXXX>
Subject: Festen i =?ISO-8859-1?Q?kv=E4ll?=
          /* Party tonight in swedish, Festen i kväll, renders wrong as well in message list */
