I am from China. I have updated the TB from 31.7 to 38.1, but some content with Chinese words in my emails can not display well now.
I want to go back to 31.7? could you please let me know where to download this portable apps with version of 31.7?
Thanks in advance!
and I think this should be a bug on 38.0.1. Could you please report to Mozilla as well?
You can grab old versions of Thunderbird Portable here including 31.7.0. Note that old versions have security risks.
I'm unaware of any specific issues in 38.0.1. I checked their bug database searching for chinese thunderbird and didn't find anything recent that looks relevant, so it may be a new bug. I'd suggest reporting them to Mozilla directly especially if you can provide a screenshot of the issue. You can use their bugzilla system here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi John T.Haller, Thanks for your prompt response. I have changed TB back to 31.7.0, this issue is solved. and change back to 38.0.1 again, it will be back. It looks it just happen in the old email with Chinese words.
I have just created an account on mozilla and have reported it with a screenshot as below.

Thanks again!
Thanks for reporting the bug. It looks like yours was reported as a duplicate of another, so you should follow this bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1174580
It looks like it was introduced in TB38. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I'd wager they don't have enough users testing with Simplified Chinese so if you can assist once in a while or know others who can, you can run the betas and help the Thunderbird devs out.
