Description Médéric Boquien 2013-01-17 08:48:58 UTC 
When using the dbus call to openComposer, non-latin 1 characters are automatically transformed into question marks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.openComposer "" "" "" "" "“”" False

Actual Results:  
Then mail composer opens and the curved quotes in the second to last argument which corresponds to the body message are transformed into question mark. This is the case if I use any non latin-1 character. 

Expected Results:  
Non latin-1 characters are displayed properly.

1. The default encoding of my mails has no effect on this.
2. A test call to knotify properly displays any non-latin 1 character, which is why I file this bug under kmail. 
3. KMail displays properly non-latin 1 characters in other fields, such as the subject (third to last argument in the dbus call)
