Version: 1.8 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.6 Most e-mails I get (or send) is encoded in ISO-8859-2. All of them display correctly in message preview if I single click on message's subject in messages list. If I choose from menu: "View->Show source V" the message source is also displayed correctly. The problem is when I _double click_ on message's subject in message list. The message is opened in new window but encoding _is lost_.
I can confirm this problem, which also applies to printing messages from KMail. UTF-8 encoded messages are printed as though they were encoded in ISO-8859-1 (it seems), although I have set UTF-8 as standard encoding in KMail's Settings (Appearance -> Message Window -> Standard Coding or sth like that).
Hi lpetersen@gmx.net I also tried your tip (KMail's Settings: Appearance -> Message Window) by setting everywhere ISO-8859-2. It did not help me also. You have right, I also think this is ISO-8859-1 codepage hardcoded into KMail. I have no idea why someone have done such strange thing.

I testing Peter solution (Bug 107092) and I think this is problem with 'encoding=' in '[Reader]' section. I had before making the test ('[Reader]'): .... encoding=Automatycznie ... after: ... encoding= ... PS. In log file I had: ASSERT: "0" in kmreaderwin.cpp (1098)
In KDE 3.5 Beta 1 the same problem now also occurs in the regular, embedded messageview of Kontact: When the message headers contain: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2527 Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=utf-8; reply-type=original Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT the message is displayed in iso-8859-1, which causes the utf-8 characters to be displayed wrongly.
This bug is still in KDE 3.5 beta 2. Not only the separate message viewer window does not display utf-8 encoded messages properly, but also the embedded message preview window. And also when printing the encoding is wrong.
Hm, I have to rectify: It seems the bug went away after opening the KMail settings and re-selecting the Secundary and Primary text encoding. I just reselected them, no changing. But now the message viewer and the preview display the message in the correct encoding. Even the raw message view has the correct encoding, if specified in the main headers (not if specified in a body mime part).
This bug is not marked as fixed.
Opening iso-8859-2 message in new window shows correct output. Thanks for fixing. KMail 1.9.3, KDE 3.5.3.
