[imp] Issue with character sets?

I am having an issue with previewing certain messages in DIMP.

This only seems to be a problem with previewing.  If I open the  
message in a separate window, the message shows just fine.

I thought I had the problem narrowed down to character sets (I only  
had one loaded.)  I loaded additional character sets with no luck.  In  
fact; I loaded ALL English characters sets out of desperation.  :-)

Sometimes, the message is from a German speaking native, other times  
it is from a company.

I HAVE set my options for message display to default to UTF-8 and  
ASCII.  Neither option shows these examples correctly.  I usually see  
this on 10-15 emails per day.  I have tried this in Chrome, Firefox  
and IE with the same results.

I would love to hear some ideas.

Here is an example of the subject from an email from Best buy:  NOTE -  
no subject is shown at all in DIMP. Subject shows just fine in IMP:

Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?A_special_birthday_offer_for_a_valued_Best_Buy=C2=AE_cu?=
  =?UTF-8?Q?stomer?=

Example #1 shown below is a Facebook notification, of all things.
Example #2 is from an Amazon email:
