Description Patrick Hofmann 2006-05-05 08:24:10 UTC 
Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

If I receive a Outlook calendar message with encoding iso-8859-1, kmail correctly displays the message. But on sending the response, the encoding is always changed to utf-8, no matter what settings  I have configured.
You can test this by sending an appointment from Outlook with umlauts (äöü...) in the subject and then accept/decline it in KMail. Outlook will not get the umlauts in the response.
Comment 1 Martin Koller 2006-10-28 22:30:14 UTC 
Can you check if the Subject line in the mail source (pressing "V" or View Source) starts with the following:
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?

(The Subject line should have this special notation when it contains Umlauts but some (older) mail clients do not produce this correctly. Maybe this is the problem)

I fixed this today in KDE 3.5 and KDE4
