It would probably be nice if it would also be possible to specify an=20
identity in the mailing list configuration. Every identity could have a=20
charset specified. That would also allow you to use cyrillic characters for=
=20
your name when posting to Russians for example.

You can already change the language of the reply phrase but currently you=
=20
have to open the configure dialog for every change and to switch the langua=
ge=20
there. I intended to bind that to identitiy but I didn't finish with that =
so=20
far.

Package: kmail
Version: 1.2 (KDE 2.1 pre-Beta2)
Severity: wishlist

I have a following wishlist:  Default Encoding per Message Folder.
For example I have English-speaking Mail List folder and want to use 
ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15 encoding for it.

From other side for the folder with mails in Russian I'd like to have CP1251 
or KOI8-R Encoding as default (both for Message Preview and Compose Nerw 
meassage).

I suggest that KMail should also use different Reply-To phrases in these two 
cases as most people probably will not understand Data and Time written in 
Russian (on top of message) 

I also think that it will be useful to have Set Encoding button on KMail 
toolbar. Actually it should be configurable that pressing on one Set Enc.1 
button I get Encoding1 and pressing on Set Enc.2 button - I get Encoding2.

I would love to see this option also. I receive mail in multiple languages, and mailing lists are almost always in a single language, yet some people have their email clients incorrectly set to send in charset=iso-8859-1 even though they are writing in a different language (Turkish, Russian Etc) which causes their email to appear broken when kmail is set to "Auto" encoding. If this could be overridden for individual folders it would be very usefull. (I filter each mailing list into a separate folder)
