Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I have my contacts' names stored in Hebrew. When I type in the name of a contact into Krunner and select "send mail" the address of the contact is correct, however, the name of the contact has a question mark in place of each letter. For instance, if I open Krunner and type "אייל גולן" and then click the option to send mail, this is the address in Kmail: ???? ???? <ayal.golan@gmail.com>
I can confirm this following the example above and using KDE 4.2.3. If I select the mail adress from within kmail, everything is displayed correctly.
The issue persists in KDE 4.3 as well.
Having the same problem. It's not a kmail bug because selecting the recip in kmail doesn't generate the same problem.

This could be an encoding issue. Are you using UTF-8 for the non-Latin characters? Has anyone had the same problem with Spanish and German special glyphs?

I use UTF8 and have some names in my address book containing german special glyphs ("Umlaut"). The example i checked: - surname "Kühn" entered in KRunner - selected the "write email" entry in the results - the then launched kmail message window contains an address line with the mail address and the firstname, as well as a additional "To:" field containing "=?utf-8?q?K=EF=BF=BDhn?=" (the surname)
I made a new contact named "Kühn" with a dummy email address. Pasting "Kühn" into krunning showed the name just fine, but the email in Kmail is addressed to "K�hn".
This problem still exists in KDE SC 4.4.3 (Archlinux). I have my contact names in Greek and when I press Mail to I get ????? ???? as name.
I have the same problem. Debian squeeze, kde 4.4.4.
I have the same problem (hebrew contacts) , Fedora 15 KDE 4.6.5 Thanks.
Is this still valid with KDE 4.8.3 or trunk?
I can confirm that the issue is still valid in KDE 4.7.4.
Thank you for the information, Dotan, but to repeat my question: anyone who has KDE 4.8.3 who can confirm this?
I don't have this problem any more with KDE 4.8.3 (Archlinux).
Thank you, Alexis, closing then.
