The "text/plain" attachment which contains zero bytes msg_2282_1

The SimplePartWidget renders an empty page instead of the actual content when fed with the test data (a real-world example from the kdepim ML). The only "weird thing" I recognize in there are the null bytes within the contents, but I have no proof that this is what is causing troubles here.

When decoding from unknown encoding and assuming UTF-8, be sure to not stop at first NULL byte

This does *not* fix #321160 (this code is not even triggered in this situation),
but it's a sane thing to do anyway. I guess that the code shall be audited for
other instances where we might silently truncate the data here; it's caused by
an implicit conversion from QByteArray to uchar*.

WebKit: convert plaintext input with NULL bytes without silent truncation

This does *not* fix HTML input containing null bytes. I don't know if this
problem is relevant for HTML e-mails as well.
