The bug appears to have been fixed.

However, users of non-MIME-capable MUAs (or those who access their mail
archives with traditional Unix text processing utilities) would probably
appreciate it if Thunderbird didn't use =?UTF-8?B?..?= encoding in the
headers.  Mutt seems to only encode words containing non-ASCII characters,
and it prefers ISO 8859-1 whenever possible.

Example: Mutt encodes the From line "Marko Mäkelä" as

From: Marko =?iso-8859-1?B?TeRrZWzk?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

while Thunderbird encodes the whole string in UTF-8:

From: =?UTF-8?B?TWFya28gTcOka2Vsw6Q=?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        Marko
