<p dir="auto">I subscribe to a newsletter that often includes proper names from non-English languages. When I use Mailmate to view a recent newsletter, I see the following:</p>

<p dir="auto">When I view the raw message, I see this:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Fs1LjMq/HTML.png" alt></p>
<p dir="auto">And when I view the same message in Apple Mail, I see this -- which is clearly what the writer intended me to see.</p>

<p dir="auto">Is there some setting I can tweak to get MailMate to display these characters as intended?</p>

<p dir="auto">The message in question contains the following line:</p>
<p dir="auto"><code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1</code></p>
<p dir="auto">This seems as if it should be enough to prompt MailMate to display it correctly.</p>

<p dir="auto">Except it's wrong. The original message should say "charset=utf8", not "charset=iso-8859-1". The original sender's email program got it wrong. It would be nice if MailMate had the feature that many web browsers have: A choice in the "View" menu that lets you force the charset to something other than what the sending email program (mistakenly) said it was. But this is a bug on the sending end, not MailMate's.</p>
