[Kde-pim] Using kmime lib to create UTF-8 email message

[David Jarvie]

I'm trying to use the kmime library to compile an email message in KAlarm, but can't get it to work with non-Latin scripts. I've looked at both mailody and the new kmail for inspiration, and can't see where I'm going wrong. For a plain text message with no attachments, I've tried 

   KMime::Message message;
   // Set headers ....
   message.contentType()->setMimeType("text/plain");
   // the message doesn't work with or without the following line:
   message.contentType()->setCharset("utf-8");
   message.setBody(bodyText.toUtf8());
   message.assemble();

I also tried, instead of setBody():

   message.fromUnicodeString(bodyText);

I retrieved the final QByteArray to send using

   message.encodedContent();

I've got non-Latin strings to work in the headers, but not in the body. When the body is displayed in kmail, it just shows gibberish. I'd much appreciate any pointers to how to fix it.
