Found on log file:
PHP Warning: mb_convert_encoding() [function.mb-convert-encoding]: Illegal character encoding specified in /var/www/sites/new/public_html/program/include/main.inc on line 932

After some debuging found that it try convert charset WINDOWS-1257 to UTF-8 with mbstring but mbstring does support it..

I try do this conversion with iconv module adding some lines to code:

Quoteif ($from == 'WINDOWS-1257' or $form == 'windows-1257'){
      $out = iconv($from, $to, $str);
         retutn $out;
   }else{
      if (($out = mb_convert_encoding($str, $to, $from)) != '')
         return $out;
   }

result - correct message view.. :)

different hack:

Quoteif ($from == 'WINDOWS-1257' or $form == 'windows-1257'){
      $from = 'ISO-8859-13';
   }else{
      if (($out = mb_convert_encoding($str, $to, $from)) != '')
         return $out;
   }

this works..but this is dirty hack becouse charset Windows-1257 and iso-8859-13 are not same..
What says devs about this?

found that this is fixed in cvs version..
replaced coresponding function on main.inc
