Public bug reported:

character encoding is set to UTF-8 for incoming and outgoing messages in Edit > 
Preferences : Display > Advanced.
In the review pane, the message is shown with Western ISO-8859-1 as seen in 
View > Character Encoding. When manually change it to UTF-8 it work, but when 
clicking on other message and going back, te Western character encoding is 
restored.

Is there other global character encoding hidden in somwhere else?

If not, this is defenitey a bug.

P.S: The "auto-detect" menu in View > Character Encoding changes
nothing. I tried set auto detect to "off" and "Universal" and no change.

Best Regards,
