Hi! Yesterday I upgraded to 91 and some messages in Cyrillic started to appear with wrong encoding (������ - that's what I see). The messages look great in every single other mail client (I tested it in at least 6, and also everything works great in webmail). Also I'm absolutely sure in TB 78 those messages were displayed correctly. I read everything I found in internet about encoding in TB, but in 91 there's no Encoding in View menu at all. All I see there is "Repair Text Encoding" and it does nothing. Can you point me how to set/change the encoding in TB 91? Thank you in advance!

It's claimed to be fixed in the latest Betterbird beta.
