e-mail with encoding that is incorrectly displayed

Summary says all. Please see attached e-mail in which special characters are incorrectly displayed as underscores.

the html part has broken encoding. It is a broken message.
Comment 2 Paul 2016-04-26 16:04:58 UTC
More accurately. The html part is showing correctly. The underscores are really there. It's 8bit, as-is. So it was broken beforehand by whatever appended that html.

But if I change Character Encoding from automatic to iso-8859-1 the e-mail is displayed correctly. Since I don't use the fancy plugin I had expected the html part to be skipped.

As I see it the e-mail is not technically broken. The problem is that claws-mail displays the last part (text/html) rather than the first (text/plain). Is that normal behaviour even when fancy is not used?

Sorry for the noise. I now see that I can select what is to be displayed of the two message parts. Clearly claws-mail performs correctly.
