That's a duplicate of bug 41018. IMO the solution is to encode the email 
address according to RFC2047.

Example:
Ingo Klöcker <kloecker at kde.org>
becomes
Ingo =?utf-8?q?Kl=C3=B6cker?= <kloecker at kde.org>

If KMail is called with 
kmail --composer 'Ingo =?utf-8?q?Kl=C3=B6cker?= <kloecker at kde.org>'
it automatically decodes the RFC2047 encoded email address (Try it!).

This solution is independent of the local encoding and KMail already 
works with this solution. David's proposal would require to change 
KMail so that it treats all parameters as being utf-8 encoded. But this 
would break the current behavior (all parameters are treated as being 
encoded with local encoding) and should be avoided.

A long time ago I promised to move the RFC2047 en-/decoder to kdelibs so 
that it could be used by invokeMailer(). But this proved to be more 
difficult than expected. I'll have another look at it.

Regards,
Ingo
