[Bug 257077] [NEW] Thunderbird should support ISO646-US character encoding

[RickB]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I received an email containing the header

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO646-US

Sequences such as "=A3" should be displayed as the UK pound sterling
symbol.

ISO646-US should (I think) be interpreted as US-ASCII, although
Wikipedia states that ASCII has been extended and hints that it may
actually be a subset of Latin1.
