The reply created by KMail with the wrong Content-Type
Hmm, I saved the message from comment #2, opened it in KMail (File->Open), hit reply and saved as draft. The Content-Type of the draft is iso-8859-15. My charsets are: us-ascii, iso-8859-15 (locale), utf-8. After changing my charsets to match your setting it still works correctly. Which locale are you using? Please check whether you can reproduce it with a new user. My locale is iso-8869-1. I created a fresh user and with that one I can't reproduce it. I tried to set my own charset settings to the default list but KMail still assigns the wrong charset. Please check whether you can reproduce it with a new user but with your kmailrc and emailidentities files. I had this problem as well but have fixed it now. It appeared on the 21st November last year (determined from my sent email folder) but I didn't notice until today when someone complained about not being able to read my email correctly (windows wanted to install a language pack first). I keep a very up-to-date Gentoo system and checked the emerge log but couldn't find that anything significant was installed at around that time. I was running kde 3.4.1 at the time (now 3.5.3) I found that I had the following setting in my kmailrc file: FallbackCharacterEncoding=iso-8859-6 This is also found in the kmail settings window under the "Message Window" tab. I set it back to iso-8859-1 and now everything works OK. Yes, you're right. I had that setting, too. No idea why it was set to that locale... wait got one idea: "Arabic" is the one which is alphabetically the first in the list. So probably I once visited that tab, had nothing set and it just took the first entry as the default. But I've definitley got no idea why it choses that "Appearance" setting more or less randomly when I'm composing mails (where I've got a working locale selected)... Confirmed in trunk (KDEPIM rev. 795179). The only difference with Comment #7 is the value : FallbackCharacterEncoding=ISO 8859-6 (instead of iso-8859-6) The issue seems to be resolved now in trunk (r. 799297) > The issue seems to be resolved now in trunk (r. 799297)
OK, closing the report then.
