The problem is actually that the string is decoded twice from UTF-8 to
the Mozilla-internal format. It's definitely a bug in Enigmail. What is
interesting though is that it doesn't occur on all my test messages; for
several messages, I see no problem at all, but for some the text is not
decoded properly.
