Or is could be with your own thunderbird? What version are you using,
and what are the settings on the "Preferences > Display > Fonts and
Encodings" dialog?
For my case:
Thunderbird: version 1.5.0.12 (20070530) on Fedora Core 5.
Unicode (UTF-8) for both Outgoing and Incoming.
[X] "Apply the default character encoding to all incoming messages"
[ ] "Use the default character encoding in replies"
..
Is there reason one or more of these settings should be changed?
My reading of that checkbox is that it says force incoming messages to
always be displayed in "my default encoding" regardless of what was
specified in the message header.
You might try toggling that off & back on while checking the effect on
some particular message that displays funny.
I have been comfortable leaving that setting unchecked, with my T'bird
version 2.0.0.14 (20080501).

I might, but I'm not the one experiencing Funky Font Syndrome. (There
are two checkboxes by the way; I assume you are referring to the first.)
