Just throwing a wild quess here, but the reason might be that the
Content-Transfer-Encoding is set to 7bit while it's actually 8bit. This
might cause trouble in the mail client, but I don't really see how this
would in any way effect a browser.

One thing I can say for sure however is that the charset was definetly
not UTF-8. I don't know why manually changing it in a browser would
cause it to render the contents correctly (for me, it rendered correctly
from the beginning) ... however, it is not UTF-8; that's easy to spot
... I believe it's correctly in Win1255, but because of the
content-transfer-encoding setting being wrong one, some strange
assumptions took place.

Can't say for sure, hope this helps.
