Mail messages received encoded in ISO-8859-1 have the wrong accented characters.
 If I send myself an e-mail containing the word "déjà", the received e-mail
appears as "déjÃ" instead.

Attempting to force ISO-8859-1 coding via the View menu doesn't work, but
selecting Unicode in the View menu corrects the problem.

Interestingly, if I hit the Reply button, the characters appear correctly in the
quoted reply text.

Using build 2002072408 on Win 95.

I experience the same problem on Win2k. There seems to be a mix up of ISO-8859-1
and UTF-8.

Possibly related to mixing ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8: Bug 148369, Bug 158285.

Kevin Cook, can you supply a message that shows the failure you describe?  (Save 
it as a .EML file, and attach it to this bug.)

From the description, it appears that the message you are receiving is in fact 
encoded in Unicode (UTF-8).  If you are getting this symptom in mail you send to 
yourself, the problem is in your composition settings, not in the view settings.

Whatever was happening has gone away.  Works for me now.  Thanks.
