Hi,
I am using v.5.0.36.2 pro (registered).
I have a problem with messages from a certain domain.
---Source example---
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_alternative 0050421BC2257AF5_="
MIME-Version: 1.0

--=_alternative 0050421BC2257AF5_=
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="KOI8-R"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
---
In "HTML" tab the message appears garbled. On right-click>charset there is a tick next to KOI8-R but only after I select "Auto detect" or press Alt+5 it is displayed correctly (at this point the tick is still at KOI8-R).
In "Text" tab message appears correct.
While searching for a setting for this I noticed that in "HTML viewer" preferences all radio buttons are disabled (greyed out) and "Use system HTML viewer" and "Leave under IE control" are selected.

Any way to fix this?

If you want to tweek them in TB then you need to enable 'Use The Bat! HTML viewer'. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.

Over here I switch between both html viewers __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.

I am still using version 5.0.36.2 here, and I have the same problem, i.e. radio buttons for HTML viewer selection greyed out.

Максим, можно не ждать, что что-то когда-то подправят в твоём пятом мышонке. Использовать надо актуальную версию и через техподдержку/багтрекер просить исправить баг. Модератор.
