Title:
  Character encoding not being detected after upgrading to 38.2.0

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading I started to see strange character in some of my
  mails.

  Examples:
  estão
  diretório

  The message source has:
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

  If I change 'View > Character Encoding' from 'Western' to 'Unicode' the bad characters get fixed:
  estão
  diretório

  But every time I change to another email, the Character encoding goes
  back to 'Western'

  It looks like the message encoding not being detected automatically
  any more.
