If you receive foreign-language mails, 2.16 and above mangle the

for people who use the Cryllic/Greek (for example) alphabets.

There are some problems with Composer (web-page, not the one you use to
compose mail) which also crept in at around 2.16.

With those two caveats, by all means go to the current level.

실례지만 무슨 소리에요? 나는 매일 한국말 메시지 문제없이 받잖아요...

Извините, пожалуйста, но это не так. Я все время получаю русскоязычные
сообщения без никаких проблем.

I send and receive foreign-language emails routinely every day and
have not noticed the issue you describe. Occasionally a malformed
message (one in which the sender's header lies about the charset) will
force me to select the encoding manually, but other than that, I have
no problems receiving Russian, Korean, and a variety of other languages.

How did you find and select manually the encoding ? Easily ?

Sure. With the message open (or displayed in the preview pane), View | Character Encoding... and guess what it should be from the list.

Since there are several Cyrillic encodings, plus Unicode (UTF-8), I sometimes have to guess a couple of times before I hit on the right one. Korean is either EUC-KR or Unicode.

But for Western languages like German or Portuguese, the accented characters are already in the basic Western character set, so I never have to do anything. And of course I know what languages my correspondent is likely to use.
