Actually, that's wrong - Position 0x96 (150 in decimal) is not defined
in ISO-8859-1, and TB is correct to display it as square. – (En Dash)
is on position 150 in Windows-1252, which is not the same as
ISO-8859-1.

Thunderbird probably ignores the Content-type header, because there's
a ton of broken clients that set the encoding to ISO-8859-1, but
actually send out cp1252. Maybe TB! could do the same, but what it
does now is not wrong.
