Yes.
HTML emails with charset 8859-1 were converted to UTF-8 and the header still 
specified the original charset. The the HTML viewer was trying to convert 
characters from 8859-1 but it was already UTF-8. So my french mails were 
broken.

Mails that are nor plain text nor html ?

Parts like diff (text/x-diff) won't be converted and I'm sure it's better.

Yes, the behaviour is changed. I'm not sure it's perfect but I'm sure it's 
better.
