This bug has been discussed in great length and details and all
information was given.
Please read the log.

In particular, I explained that the character set should be described
within the HTML file exclusively.
If the character set of a HTML file is defined by MIME in a HTTP, SMTP
or whatever envelope, then Thunderbird must transfer that information
within the file when it stores that file to disk.  Neither Thunderbird
nor Firefox do that.
The only reaction I had to these deep remarks is someone changing my bug
title to
"fuzzy/confusing firefox View -> Character encoding menu semantics"
which does not reflect at all what I wrote.
