Weird html charset problem

Hello, 

I have a strange problem with Sqwebmail 3.6.x (no such problem with 3.5.x). 

I have a Freebsd box - charset=ISO-8859-1 ; lang=it_IT.ISO8859-1 - equipped 
with qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail. 

Sqwebmail is accessed through https, mainly with IE6. 

With sqwebmail 3.6.x installed from the freebsd ports, some chars in HTML 
messages are not displayed correctly (mostly "locale" chars: accented 
letters è é ì ò ù à ) and are substituted with a blank box. 

No problem if I read this message in text-only mode or if I forward or pop 
the message. The problem seems to be related only to the way HTML messages 
are displayed. 

Big strange thing: if save the HTML frame with the message to my desktop and 
I reopen it locally.... it display all the chars correctly!!!! (??) 

What's up?? 

Here's the header of the message frame:
