Moving to Thunderbird Support. No bug has been identified.
It's probably a problem with your Character Encoding. View>Character Encoding. Try Western or Unicode.

Look like Portuguese, which western (iso-8859-1) should have no problem displaying.
I usually set view -> character encoding -> western (iso-8859-1) plus view -> character encoding -> auto detect -> universal.

Re: problem between thunderbird and googlegroups
But these are the default here, I think it's a problem of google groups too because the "new" google groups show the accents correctly. I tried what you said but doesn't work. Another ideia?

Re: problem between thunderbird and googlegroups
I sent a message with some Portuguese text from Gmail webmail to one of my accounts and had no problem displaying it in Thunderbird using the settings I described. The raw message source :
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
X-Truedomain-Domain: gmail.com
X-Truedomain-SPF: Pass
X-Truedomain-DKIM: Pass (TrueDKIM)
X-Truedomain-ID: 062A78501016B746B9EB2A32DF0CF5D2
X-Truedomain: M-Accepted (DKIM matches From)

Using the config editor in tools -> options -> advanced -> general I found intl.charset.detector was set to universal_charset_detector and mailnews.view_default_charset was set to ISO-8859-1. I've also got intl.charsetmenu.mailview.cache set to UTF-8, ISO-8859-15, GB2312, windows-1252, ISO-2022-JP but I don'[t know if that has any effect. That seems to just specify what character sets should be cached.

Just to be clear, do you have this problem with email messages in Thunderbird or just with newsgroups? Google Groups supports both Usenet newsgroups and non-Usenet groups that are more similar to mailing lists (not accessible via NNTP), calling both of them Google Groups. Thunderbird doesn't support Google Groups - it supports email, newsgroups and rss/blogs.

Re: problem between thunderbird and googlegroups
Then check that you're configured to send messages using "Western ISO-8859-1" in tools -> options -> display -> formatting -> advanced
