Then all stuff is written to QByteArray (shouldn't change anything,
or?). In KLauncher::process() the QByteArray is converted to QString
again and in KLauncher::kdeinit_exec() the arguments are converted to
local8Bit().
So where could the problem be?

Maybe the KShell::splitArgs() method, that is called in
KApplication::invokeMailer() changes the encoding?

Ciao,
