Description Axel Braun 2016-12-28 17:12:33 UTC 
KMail 5.3.2 uses printing via Browser as workaround.
Unfortunately this seems not to respect the locale:
While a mail is shown correct with Umlauts (ä, ü, ö), the document in the browser shows e.g. verzögert instead of verzögert
Comment 1 Axel Braun 2017-08-04 16:29:08 UTC 
Still a problem in 5.5.3
Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2017-08-05 14:55:56 UTC 
Please use qt >= 5.8
we use real printing support no external html browser for doing it.

Right, I tested on Leap 42.3, which uses qt 5.6.x
In current Tumbleweed it works! So its a packaging issue -> will file a bug against Leap and close this one.

Thanks Laurent!

But an external html browser is still used for print preview even with Qt 5.9, and this has the same problem.

I have a fix for it though:

Git commit 8f9f8d69d7ed3fa70e6af4ddd445daaf644c007a by Wolfgang Bauer.
Committed on 09/08/2017 at 06:14.
Pushed by wbauer into branch 'Applications/17.08'.

Fix specifying the charset when exporting as HTML

The QString::replace() had no effect because the stream actually
contains <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">, not just <!DOCTYPE html>.

Also, the <meta> tag should be inside the <head> section.
