Hi

Just noticed that emails with special characters such as â ã ç é and so on, now display as � after update to 78.

If i go to (in the main window) View>Text Encoding, Unicode is selected. If i change it to Western, then the special characters in the selected email displays correctly.

If i select another email, when i go back to the problem email, it no longer displays correctly, and Unicode is selected again.

This happens to emails received before the update to 78 too.

I have changing options in Options>General>Language & Appearance>Fonts & Colors>Advanced and for incoming emails the selected option is Western (ISO-8859-1), and changing this option had no visible results.

Thanks in advance
