Perhaps not related to your issue but if you see above what I am seeing:

I dont see

François Patte
Université Paris Descartes

but 

Fran�ois Patte
Universit� Paris Descartes

This may not be an emacs issue at all – just set your thunderbird to
use UTF-8 instead of latin-1.

However it may be an indication that your locale settings are not utf-8.
What does the following (at the shell) give? I get for example

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
