--- Comment #1 from Thomas Fischer <fischer at unix-ag.uni-kl.de> ---
I may have the same problem. My observation is as follows:
The user receives a HTML-only mail in an European language (which makes use of
non-ASCII characters code 128-255 such as åäö), the mail is quoted-printable
encoded.
My test case mail's source code looks like this:

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-=
1">
<body>abc123=E5=E4=F6<br/>ABC123=C5=C4=D6</body>
</html>

The relevant mail headers look like this:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"

This mail should look like this when correctly displayed:

abc123åäö
ABC123ÅÄÖ

I'll attach two screen shots. One will reproduce how the mail is displayed in
"non-HTML" mode, where a box is show for the use to "click here" to render the
HTML code. The second screen shot reproduces the output of just this render.
Please observe the incorrect rendering in the first screenshot.
