Text encoding is wrong in incoming emails

Good day, Last week I updated Thunderbird to version 78.10.1 and since then Text Encoding in all of my incoming letters is messed up. Every time I receive a letter, I have to do "View > Text Encoding" and try out 3, sometimes 4 different options before I see the email without hieroglyphs. Whenever I switch to a different letter, I have to do the same thing with every letter, even with the ones I read a second ago. Whenever I need to print out an incoming letter, encoding is messed up in Print Preview. I receive letters in 4 different languages - English, Russian, Latvian and sometimes German. Due to this reason setting one type of Text Encoding option won't fix the issue. In this regard I have two questions:

  1. 1 Why all of a sudden text encoding messed up after an update?
  2. 2 How do I fix it?
