            Bug ID: 306401
          Severity: normal

           Summary: Problem receiving ICQ messages containing non-ASCII
                    letters
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: arichardson.kde at googlemail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
         Component: text-ui
           Product: telepathy

Whenever I receive an ICQ message containing a german umlaut or ß these letters
get replaced with question marks and "(There was an error receiving this
message.  Either you and xxxxxxxxx have different encodings selected, or
xxxxxxxxx has a buggy client.)" gets appended to the message.

The problem is probably that the encoding that message is sent in is default
Windows cp, but there is no way to change the encoding my messages are send
in/the encoding received messages should be.
The KCM only offers UTF-8 as a choice of encoding.

Ideally this should be selectable per contact.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive message from Windows ICQ user containing umlauts
Actual Results:  
Umlauts are replaced with ?

Expected Results:  
Receive the correct letters
