Apart from the problem Ingo mentioned, the content-transfer-encoding here is 
also wrong. It is set to 7 bit, which only works for US-ASCII (english text 
without special characters), but not for UTF8.
KMail can deal with such a wrongly encoded mail, but other mail clients 
probably can not.
It is basically the same problem as I outlined in my recent mail with the 
subject "KMime::Content::fromUnicodeString() considered harmful".
Looks like not only all fromUnicodeString() calls need to be fixed, but also 
all setBody() calls, since that is basically the same problem.
It would probably be good to have something like 
KMime::Content::setOptimalCTEFromBody() in KMime that we can use.
At the moment I don't have time to look at this myself.

Regards,
Thomas
