Strange here it is correct.

My first mail in the sent-folder:
Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="utf-8"
 sending emails with german ae=3D=C3=A4, oe=3D=C3=B6, ue=3D=C3=BC there are=
 problems with the=20

My very first mail as it came back from kde-linux:
Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="utf-8"

And your first mail ist containing several content-types:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
  boundary="===============1519971148=="

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0

But it already happens on the way to the sentfolder.

Are there any rules? I'll keep an eye on it.
