INTRODUCTION

The Hungarian alphabet contains a buch of "special" characters, which are not used in the English language. The same is true for other languages as well.
When writing an email a handy autocompleting list is opened in Kmail, when one starts typing the name of the recipient. 
However depending on the software environment, and how restrictive the major softwares of each business are - some Hungarians simply write without the special characters, substituting them with the most similar oner from the English alphabet. 
Sometimes this looks rather disguasting, in a few cases it could lead to misunderstandings. So no surprise - those people who can, use the special characters.
Even ISO-8859-2 does not cover the full alphabet, but Unicode and HTML does.

The bug description is incomplete, but I have to check if autocompletion is done by kdeui or Qt.
